Herder met kudde schapen op de heide 1848 - 1888

"Herder met kudde schapen op de heide" (Shepherd with a flock of sheep on the heath) is a pencil drawing by Anton Mauve, created sometime between 1848 and 1888. It depicts a shepherd guiding a flock of sheep across a rolling, grassy landscape. Mauve was known for his realistic depictions of rural life and the tranquility of nature. The drawing's soft lines and subtle shading capture the peaceful atmosphere of the scene. This work, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Mauve's skill in capturing the beauty of the Dutch countryside.
