Figuur op een pad in een landschap c. 1876 - 1888

"Figuur op een pad in een landschap" (Figure on a Path in a Landscape) is a pencil drawing by Anton Mauve, created between 1876 and 1888. The piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures a simple yet evocative scene. A lone figure, likely a shepherd, is depicted standing on a path amidst a landscape, with a row of trees behind them. Mauve’s signature style, characterized by loose, expressive strokes, is evident in this drawing, creating a sense of immediacy and capturing the subtle nuances of light and shadow.
