About the piece
Painted in 1865 by Willem Maris, a key figure of the Dutch Hague School, this work exemplifies the artist's masterful handling of light and atmosphere. The composition features a group of donkeys and their young handlers resting along a tranquil shoreline, rendered in a sophisticated palette of muted greens, greys, and earthy tones.
