Ossenwagen op bergweg Possibly 1847 - 1910

"Ossenwagen op bergweg" (Ox-cart on a mountain road) is a drawing by Jacob Maris, a Dutch artist known for his atmospheric landscapes. This work, likely dating from 1847-1910, captures a scene of a cart pulled by oxen winding its way up a steep path. The delicate, sketchy lines and subtle shading characteristic of Maris' style give a sense of movement and depth, hinting at the rugged terrain and challenging conditions of the journey. The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a small, intimate study, measuring 218 mm in height and 366 mm in width, highlighting the artist's focus on capturing the essence of a moment rather than depicting it in detail.
