Gezicht op de kade langs een kanaal 1848 - 1888

"Gezicht op de kade langs een kanaal" (View of the quay along a canal), is a pencil drawing by Anton Mauve, a Dutch painter and draughtsman known for his depictions of rural life and landscapes. Created between 1848 and 1888, this artwork is a simple yet effective depiction of a canal scene with a tall tree in the foreground, and buildings and a bridge in the background. It showcases Mauve's signature style of capturing the delicate details and atmosphere of everyday scenes with an emphasis on light and shadow. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, this drawing is a testament to Mauve's artistic mastery and his ability to elevate the mundane to the sublime.
