Boer naast twee door paarden getrokken karren 1848 - 1888

"Boer naast twee door paarden getrokken karren" (1848-1888) is an etching by Anton Mauve, a Dutch artist known for his depictions of rural life. This print showcases Mauve's characteristic style, with its loose, expressive lines capturing a simple scene of a farmer walking beside two horse-drawn carts. The composition emphasizes the quiet solitude of the landscape, with the lone figure of the farmer dwarfed by the vastness of the open fields. The artwork is a prime example of the Dutch Realist movement, where everyday scenes and working-class subjects were depicted with sensitivity and honesty.
