Staande vissersjongen met muts 1848 - 1888

This drawing by Anton Mauve, created between 1848 and 1888, depicts a young fisherman standing with his net. The boy’s pensive expression and the sketchy nature of the drawing create a sense of realism and intimacy, characteristic of Mauve’s style. The subtle use of brown and gray washes on paper highlights the muted tones of the fisherman’s attire and the surrounding landscape. The piece is a poignant portrayal of Dutch rural life and can be found at the Rijksmuseum.
