Staande figuur op een pad 1848 - 1888

"Staande figuur op een pad" (Standing figure on a path) is a pencil drawing by Anton Mauve, a Dutch painter known for his landscapes and depictions of peasant life. This work, created between 1848 and 1888, is characterized by its delicate lines and subtle shading, which create a sense of depth and atmosphere. The figure in the foreground, standing near a fence, is almost obscured by the surrounding trees and foliage, suggesting a sense of solitude and contemplation. This sketch showcases Mauve's ability to capture the essence of a fleeting moment in nature, a hallmark of his artistic style. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
