Landschap met water en een figuur in een roeiboot 1848 - 1888

Anton Mauve, known for his landscapes and figure studies, created this pencil sketch titled "Landschap met water en een figuur in een roeiboot" between 1848 and 1888. The drawing depicts a distant landscape with a body of water, with a single figure in a rowboat partially visible in the foreground. This sketch, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Mauve's characteristic use of light and shadow to create depth and atmosphere. The sketch's simplicity and the suggestion of movement in the water highlight Mauve's focus on capturing the essence of the natural world.
