Zandschuit 1848 - 1888

"Zandschuit" is a watercolor painting by Anton Mauve, completed between 1848 and 1888. The painting depicts a man pushing off from the shore in a small boat, or "zandschuit," which is a type of Dutch barge. The scene is set in a calm and serene landscape with rolling hills and a tranquil body of water. Mauve's signature style is evident in his use of light and shadow, which creates a sense of depth and atmosphere. The painting is now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
