About the piece

This 19th-century watercolor by Anton Mauve captures the quiet dignity of a young bull lying in a stable. Executed with the soft, atmospheric touch characteristic of the Hague School, the work emphasizes the texture of the animal's hide and the muted, earthy tones of its rural environment.
