About the piece
Created around 1870, this painting is a quintessential example of the animal studies produced by Anton Mauve, a leading member of the Hague School and a major influence on Vincent van Gogh. The work showcases Mauve's ability to capture the silver-grey light of the Dutch atmosphere and the honest beauty of rural life, focusing on the solitary figure of a calf against a wide, textured landscape.
