Strand met paarden en schuiten 1848 - 1888

"Strand met paarden en schuiten" (Beach with Horses and Boats) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Anton Mauve, created between 1848 and 1888, and now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The drawing depicts a simple, yet evocative scene of horses and figures gathered on a beach, likely a rural landscape. Mauve's signature is visible in the bottom left corner. The delicate, sketched lines and minimalist composition are characteristic of his style and capture the essence of a fleeting moment, with subtle details suggesting the movement of the water and the presence of boats in the distance.
