Shepherdess with a Flock of Sheep c. 1870 - 1888

Anton Mauve's "Shepherdess with a Flock of Sheep" is a classic example of the Hague School movement. The painting depicts a shepherdess in a misty, serene landscape guiding a flock of sheep through a field. The use of soft, muted colors, characteristic of the Hague School, emphasizes the tranquility of the scene, capturing the rural life of 19th-century Netherlands. The painting is currently held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, where it continues to attract viewers with its peaceful and evocative nature.
