Studie 1848 - 1888

This charcoal drawing titled "Studie" (study) by Anton Mauve, a Dutch painter known for his landscapes and animal paintings, was created between 1848 and 1888. While it's difficult to discern specific subject matter, the gestural lines suggest a landscape study with possible hints of trees or figures. The faintness and sketch-like quality of the drawing highlight the artist's process of exploring form and composition. The Rijksmuseum, where this artwork is currently located, offers insights into the artistic journey of Mauve and his early explorations of the natural world.
