Grazend vee in een weiland 1848 - 1888

"Grazend vee in een weiland" (Grazing Cattle in a Meadow), a charcoal drawing by Anton Mauve, is a quick sketch capturing the essence of a pastoral scene. The artwork, created between 1848 and 1888, showcases Mauve's signature style of loose lines and expressive strokes, conveying a sense of movement and atmospheric depth. The composition, focused on the grazing cattle, reflects Mauve's fascination with rural life and the natural world. This drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Mauve's ability to capture the beauty of the everyday through his skillful use of charcoal.
