Anton Mauve's "Landschap" is a landscape sketch, executed in charcoal on paper, dated between 1876 and 1879. The drawing, held in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a hazy landscape with a few trees and a field in the foreground, creating a sense of depth and atmospheric perspective. Mauve, known for his landscapes and depictions of rural life, was a celebrated Dutch artist whose works often captured the beauty of the Dutch countryside. The artist’s quick, gestural brushstrokes convey the essence of the scene, creating a sense of immediacy and intimacy.
