Landschap 1848 - 1888

"Landschap" is a charcoal drawing on paper by Dutch artist Anton Mauve, created sometime between 1848 and 1888. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Mauve's mastery of atmospheric landscapes. The drawing depicts a quiet rural scene with a distant horizon, a few bare trees silhouetted against a cloudy sky, and subtle shading that emphasizes the subtle textures of the land. This intimate and evocative portrayal of the Dutch countryside, rendered with a sense of stillness and solitude, exemplifies Mauve's characteristic style of realism.
