Boerin die een koe melkt in een veld 1848 - 1888

"Boerin die een koe melkt in een veld" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Anton Mauve, created sometime between 1848 and 1888. The artwork depicts a farmer woman milking a cow in a field. The sketch, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Mauve's early style, showcasing his masterful use of line and shading to convey the figures and the landscape. The quick strokes and sketchy lines, while capturing the essence of the scene, hint at a sense of immediacy and observation. This work exemplifies Mauve's focus on rural life and the beauty of everyday activities.
