More about this artwork
In the serene and evocative painting “Elisabeth Mauve (b. 1875), Daughter of the Artist” by Anton Mauve, we are presented with a tender depiction of childhood introspection and innocence. Rendered with a soft yet poignant touch, the work portrays the young Elisabeth standing in a natural setting, her attention gently absorbed by a small flower she holds in her hands.Dressed in a white dress detailed with lace and complemented by a dark ribbon-tie at the waist, Elisabeth epitomizes the purity and unspoiled beauty of youth. Her attire is capped with a brown hat that suggests a formality now softened by her engagement with nature. The backdrop is a muted mix of greens and earth tones, focusing our attention on the delicate figure before it.Anton Mauve, a master of the Hague School, known for his realistic yet poetic approach to landscape and rural life, here applies his skills to a more personal subject – his daughter. The painting subtlely conveys the themes of growth and the fleeting moments of childhood, inviting viewers to reflect on the simplicity and wonder found in everyday life.

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".
