Liggende koeien in een weiland 1848 - 1888

This is a charcoal drawing on paper, "Liggende koeien in een weiland" (Lying cows in a meadow), by Anton Mauve, created between 1848 and 1888. The work depicts a simple scene of cows resting in a meadow, drawn in a loose, impressionistic style, characteristic of Mauve's work. This piece, now in the Rijksmuseum, highlights Mauve’s focus on capturing the natural world and the beauty of everyday life.
