Lot Essay

The present lot shows one of the artist's favorite themes: a cowherd with cows on a wide sandy road, walking towards the viewer. Most of the paintings with this subject were executed in the province of Drenthe, were the artist yearly spent his summers from 1880 onwards. For further information on this period see S. de Bodt a.o., De Haagse School in Drenthe, Zwolle 1997, p. 59-69.
