Dorpsweg in Westerlo met uitzicht op de toren van de Sint Lambertuskerk 1841

"Dorpsweg in Westerlo met uitzicht op de toren van de Sint Lambertuskerk" is a pencil sketch by Johannes Tavenraat, created in 1841. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a village road in Westerlo, Belgium, with the spire of the Sint Lambertuskerk church prominently visible in the distance. The sketch's delicate lines capture the essence of the rural landscape, revealing Tavenraat's keen eye for detail and his ability to convey a sense of place through simple yet evocative strokes. This preliminary drawing, likely a study for a larger painting, offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his fascination with the architecture and landscapes of his native country.
