Landschap 1864 - 1869

"Landschap" is a pencil sketch by Johannes Tavenraat, dating from 1864-1869 and currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts a landscape with minimal detail, focusing on a few trees and hills, rendered in a loose and gestural style. The work is a testament to the artist's interest in capturing the essence of a scene through quick and suggestive strokes, indicative of the Dutch Romanticism movement. Tavenraat's delicate handling of the medium further adds to the fleeting quality of the artwork.
