Zuilengalerij op een basement 1848 - 1888

This pencil drawing by Anton Mauve, titled “Zuilengalerij op een basement,” depicts a colonnade on a basement. Created between 1848 and 1888, the work showcases Mauve’s interest in architectural structures and his use of simple lines to capture the essence of a scene. This is likely a preparatory sketch for a larger painting, as Mauve is known for his landscape and animal paintings. The sketch, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Mauve’s artistic process and his interest in the world around him.
