Zittende vrouw met een muts 1848 - 1888

Anton Mauve's "Zittende vrouw met een muts" is a delicate pencil sketch, housed in the Rijksmuseum. While the subject is a seated woman wearing a hat, the piece is primarily an exploration of form and light through gestural lines and subtle shading. Mauve, known for his landscapes and figure studies, produced this work between 1848 and 1888, showcasing his evolving artistic style. The sketch's minimal detail allows viewers to engage with the artist's process and interpret the subject's essence.
