Twee gezadelde en bepakte ezels 1848 - 1888

"Twee gezadelde en bepakte ezels" is a pencil sketch by Anton Mauve, created between 1848 and 1888. The artwork depicts two saddled and laden donkeys, their hindquarters and legs visible in the composition. The loose, gestural lines of the drawing suggest a quick study, perhaps made in the field. Mauve, known for his depictions of rural life, often used simple sketches like this to capture the essence of his subjects. This drawing is a prime example of his masterful use of line and his sensitivity to light and form, and is currently part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
