Staande figuur op een heuvel c. 1881 - 1888

"Staande figuur op een heuvel" (Standing Figure on a Hill) is a charcoal drawing by Anton Mauve, created between 1881 and 1888. The piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a study in the artist's signature style, characterized by loose lines and expressive gestures that capture the essence of the figure and its surroundings. This drawing, a testament to Mauve's mastery of depicting the human figure in the natural world, is a fascinating example of his artistic process.
