Wagenwiel en zeilboten 1848 - 1888

"Wagenwiel en zeilboten" is a pencil sketch by Anton Mauve, a renowned Dutch painter of the 19th century known for his depictions of rural life and landscapes. Created between 1848 and 1888, the sketch exhibits a rough and gestural style, capturing a fleeting moment of observation. The subject matter, likely a wagon wheel and sailboats, suggests Mauve's interest in everyday scenes and the interplay of natural elements. The work is housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and offers a glimpse into Mauve's artistic process and his preference for sketching as a means of capturing initial ideas.
