Landbouwgrond 1848 - 1888

"Landbouwgrond" (Agricultural Land) is a charcoal drawing by Anton Mauve, a Dutch artist known for his depictions of rural life and landscapes. Created between 1848 and 1888, the artwork is a study in subtle shading and texture, capturing the essence of a field with a single, bold stroke down the center. Mauve's use of light and shadow gives the piece depth and a sense of space, reflecting the realist style prevalent in the latter half of the 19th century. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into Mauve's artistic process and his fascination with the natural world.
