Landschap met bomen c. 1881 - 1888

"Landschap met bomen" is a pencil sketch by Anton Mauve, a prominent Dutch painter known for his landscapes and animal scenes. The quick and loose lines suggest a fleeting impression of a landscape, possibly depicting a grove of trees against a cloudy sky. This simple yet evocative sketch captures the essence of Mauve's artistic style, which often emphasized naturalism and the fleeting moments of nature. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcasing the artist's artistic exploration through a preliminary study.
