This study sheet by Matthijs Maris, dating from 1849 to 1917, is a testament to the artist's preliminary sketches. The work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a minimalist, gestural approach, with loose lines suggesting figures and a landscape. It showcases the evolution of his style, as Maris experimented with form and composition before committing to more finished pieces.
