Herder met een kudde in een landschap 1848 - 1888

"Herder met een kudde in een landschap" (Shepherd with a Herd in a Landscape) is a pencil sketch by Anton Mauve, a prominent Dutch artist known for his landscapes and pastoral scenes. The drawing, likely a study for a larger work, captures the essence of the Dutch countryside with its delicate lines suggesting trees, perhaps a shepherd, and possibly a herd of animals in the distance. This piece, now in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Mauve’s characteristic sensitive and restrained use of line, capturing the atmosphere of a quiet, rural scene.
