Boten in een baai aan de Maas 1840 - 1841

"Boten in een baai aan de Maas" is a pencil sketch by Johannes Tavenraat, created between 1840 and 1841. The drawing depicts a bay on the Maas River, with boats anchored in the foreground and the riverbank lined with trees. The artist's minimalist style emphasizes the natural beauty of the scene, capturing the essence of the Dutch landscape. This preliminary sketch, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, likely served as a study for a larger painting.
