Landschap met schapen 1848 - 1888

"Landschap met schapen" is a landscape sketch by Anton Mauve, a Dutch painter known for his depictions of rural life. The sketch, created between 1848 and 1888, features a minimal drawing style with a focus on the shapes of the landscape. The light lines suggest a quick study, possibly made on location, with only the outlines of rolling hills and a small flock of sheep outlined in the center of the page. It's a testament to Mauve's skill in capturing the essence of a scene with just a few lines. The drawing is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
