Staande vrouw met hoofddoek en mand 1848 - 1888

Anton Mauve's "Staande vrouw met hoofddoek en mand" is a watercolor painting depicting a woman standing with a basket in her hands. Painted between 1848 and 1888, the artwork showcases Mauve's mastery of capturing simple everyday scenes with a sense of realism. The woman's humble attire and posture suggest a life of toil and hardship, a common theme in Mauve's works. The painting is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to engage viewers with its poignant portrayal of working-class life in 19th-century Netherlands.
