Schaapskudde in een weiland 1848 - 1888

"Schaapskudde in een weiland" (Flock of Sheep in a Meadow), a delicate charcoal sketch by Anton Mauve, captures a serene countryside scene. The artist, known for his depictions of rural life, showcases his mastery of light and shadow with subtle strokes. The composition features a flock of sheep grazing in a meadow, with a distant horizon hinting at rolling hills and a hazy sky. This drawing, created between 1848 and 1888, is a testament to Mauve's keen observation of nature and his ability to evoke a sense of tranquility through his art. The artwork is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum.
