Abklatsch van de krijttekening op pagina 5 recto 1848 - 1888

This faint pencil sketch, created by Anton Mauve between 1848 and 1888, is housed in the Rijksmuseum. Though the subject matter is unclear due to the faded nature of the work, it likely depicts a landscape or a scene from daily life, reflecting Mauve's penchant for capturing the beauty of the Dutch countryside. The artist's signature style of delicate lines and subtle shading is evident, even in this barely visible drawing. This piece offers a glimpse into Mauve's creative process and his mastery of capturing the essence of his subject with minimal detail.
