Veld met vogelverschrikkers 1848 - 1888

"Veld met vogelverschrikkers" (Field with scarecrows) is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Anton Mauve, created between 1848 and 1888. The sketch, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a landscape scene with two figures, likely scarecrows, standing in a field. Mauve's signature loose and gestural style is evident in the quick, sketchy lines that create the landscape and figures. The work showcases Mauve's interest in capturing the fleeting moments of rural life.
