Landschap met bomen 1848 - 1888

"Landschap met bomen" is a charcoal sketch by Anton Mauve, a prominent Dutch painter known for his landscapes and animal scenes. The artwork, created between 1848 and 1888, showcases Mauve's characteristic use of loose, expressive lines to capture the essence of a rural scene, likely featuring trees and a glimpse of the horizon. The unfinished nature of the sketch, with its light strokes and subtle shading, suggests a quick study or a preliminary exploration of an idea. Mauve's works are often appreciated for their poetic portrayal of nature, a theme prevalent in Dutch landscape painting of the 19th century.
