Schetsen van paarden 1848 - 1888

Anton Mauve's "Schetsen van paarden" is a pencil drawing that captures the essence of a rural scene. Dating back to 1848-1888, the drawing showcases Mauve's mastery of capturing animal movement and form. On the left side, a group of horses are depicted in a field, their bodies rendered with loose, expressive lines. The right side features a sketch of a carriage with a person seated inside. This drawing, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, reveals the artist's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey a sense of motion and atmosphere in a few simple strokes.
