"Jaagpad" (1894) by Dutch painter Jacob Maris depicts a solitary figure riding a horse along a muddy path in a rural landscape. The painting's muted palette and loose brushstrokes contribute to the feeling of quiet contemplation and the vastness of the Dutch countryside. The painting's subject matter is a common one for Maris, who was known for his depictions of rural life and landscapes. The painting is currently located at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
