More about this artwork

"" by Anton Mauve is a serene yet profoundly expressive painting that beautifully encapsulates rural life in the Netherlands during the 19th century. The artist, known for his pastoral scenes, uses soft, naturalistic tones and delicate lighting to evoke a gentle, tranquil mood.The painting portrays a woman, likely from the small village of Laren, standing in a lush garden or meadow. She dons traditional attire, a simple yet elegantly draped blue skirt paired with a white blouse, reflecting her modest lifestyle. Her expression is contemplative and resolute, capturing the tireless spirit of rural folk.Beside the woman, a lamb drinks from a bowl, signifying her role in caring for livestock—the backbone of rural economy. The inclusion of chickens in the background further emphasizes her daily engagement with nature and farm life. Mauve's skill in landscape painting is evident in the elaborate depiction of the surrounding foliage and the play of light through the trees, adding depth and vitality to the scene.This painting not only showcases Mauve’s mastery over color and form but also tells a story of dutiful rural life, inviting viewers to appreciate the quiet dignity and simplicity of the agricultural lifestyle.

Anthonij "Anton" Rudolf Mauve (18 September 1838 – 5 February 1888) was a Dutch realist painter who was a leading member of the Hague School. He signed his paintings 'A. Mauve' or with a monogrammed 'A.M.'. A master colorist, he was a very significant early influence on his cousin-in-law Vincent van Gogh.

His best-known paintings depict peasants working in the fields. His paintings of flocks of sheep were especially popular with American patrons, so popular that a price differential developed between scenes of "sheep coming" and "sheep going".
