Anton Mauve

Peasant Woman with a Cow

Watercolour. 24.5 x 43.5 cm (mat opening).
Framed under glass.
Signed lower right: A Mauve.

The Dutch painter Anton Mauve, one of the most important representatives of the Hague School, trained with Wouter Verschuur in 1858 and in turn taught Vincent van Gogh watercolour painting in 1881. After his death, Van Gogh dedicated the painting "Souvenir de Mauve", now in the Kröller-Müller Museum, to his former teacher. Our present watercolour displays Mauve's characteristic combination of landscape, human and animal motifs in a silvery-grey colour palette.
