Figuur op een paardenkar in een landschap c. 1886 - 1888

Anton Mauve's "Figuur op een paardenkar in een landschap" is a pencil sketch depicting a figure in a horse-drawn cart within a landscape. The sketch, dating from between 1886 and 1888, is a study in form and composition, emphasizing the artist's skill in capturing movement and depth with minimal detail. The work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, reveals Mauve's mastery of expressive line work, characteristic of his later career, while hinting at the rural themes that often defined his artistic output.
