Figuren met een kar in een veld 1848 - 1888

This charcoal sketch, "Figuren met een kar in een veld," depicts a simple landscape scene by Anton Mauve. Created between 1848 and 1888, the piece showcases Mauve's characteristic interest in rural life and the Dutch countryside. The sketch, housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a minimalist approach, using subtle lines and shading to suggest figures and a cart in a field. The artist's attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the scene with a few strokes are evident in this preliminary work.
