Rivierlandschap met een kerktoren en molens 1865

Johannes Tavenraat's 1865 ink drawing, "Rivierlandschap met een kerktoren en molens" (River Landscape with a Church Tower and Windmills), displays the artist's keen eye for detail and the beauty of the Dutch landscape. The drawing captures a tranquil scene of a river with a distant village, windmills, and church tower. In the foreground, tall grasses frame a boat resting on the water's edge, while two hares run across the ground, adding a touch of playful movement to the composition. The work is a prime example of Tavenraat's mastery of pen and ink, demonstrating his ability to create depth and texture through delicate lines. This work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
