Anton Mauve was a Dutch realist painter, and one of the most important representatives of the Hague School.
His best known paintings depict peasants working in the fields, and especially sheep herding scenes. Mauve devoted himself almost exclusively to depicting the peaceful rural life of the fields and country lanes of Holland - especially of the districts near Oosterbeek and Wolfhezen, the sand dunes of the coast at Scheveningen, and the country near Laren, where he spent the last years of his life.
