Buitenleven c. 1843 - 1920

"Buitenleven" (c. 1843-1920) by A. Müller is a charming illustration depicting various scenes of rural life. The artwork, composed of six vignettes, captures the simple pleasures of the countryside: from a horse-drawn carriage ride, to a farmer tending to his cows, and a shepherd watching his flock. The scenes are filled with lively details and humor, making "Buitenleven" a delightful glimpse into the daily life of people living in rural areas. The artwork is executed in a detailed and colorful style, characteristic of the 19th century, and likely inspired by the burgeoning genre of genre painting. "Buitenleven" offers a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of city life and reminds us of the beauty and tranquility of nature.
