Schaapskooi 1848 - 1888

Anton Mauve's "Schaapskooi" (Sheepfold) from 1848-1888 is a detailed pencil drawing that portrays a rustic barn with a thatched roof, wooden door, and a glimpse of another building. The artist's signature appears in the bottom right corner. Mauve, known for his depictions of rural life and landscapes, expertly captures the texture of the wood and thatch, adding depth and realism to this simple yet evocative scene. "Schaapskooi" is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, offering viewers a glimpse into the everyday structures and atmosphere of the Dutch countryside.
