Schetsboek met 33 bladen 1848 - 1888

Anton Mauve's "Schetsboek met 33 bladen" is a sketchbook containing 33 pages, spanning a decade of the artist's life from 1848 to 1888. This small, but significant, sketchbook is now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The black, worn cover of the sketchbook reflects its rich history and offers a glimpse into Mauve's creative process. While the content of the pages are not visible in this image, the sketchbook provides valuable insights into the working methods of this renowned Dutch painter, particularly for those interested in his early and mid-career.
