Heuvellandschap 1848 - 1888

Anton Mauve's "Heuvellandschap" is a simple yet evocative pencil sketch, possibly a study for a larger work, that captures the rolling hills and cloudy sky of a Dutch landscape. The drawing, created between 1848 and 1888, showcases Mauve's signature loose and expressive style, emphasizing the natural world with light strokes and subtle shading. This intimate portrayal of nature, devoid of figures, reflects Mauve's focus on capturing the atmosphere and essence of the landscape. Currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, "Heuvellandschap" offers a glimpse into the artistic process of this renowned Dutch painter.
