"Landarbeider met een schop" (Field Worker with a Shovel) is a pencil sketch by Anton Mauve, dating from c. 1886-1888, housed in the Rijksmuseum. This simple yet powerful drawing captures two figures, likely field workers, engaged in their labor. The sketch's loose lines and the use of a single medium showcase Mauve's masterful ability to convey movement and depict the harsh realities of rural life, common in his artistic output. The work exemplifies Mauve's preference for depicting figures in their natural surroundings, contributing to his status as one of the prominent artists of the Hague School.
