| | Anton Mauve |
 | | Mauve's family was not rich, and when on a fine day the youth packed his knapsack to go to Oosterbeek for some time, it was with a purse as light as his heart. |
 | | Here Mauve found some of his most important and favourite themes, such as poor cots built in or near the downs, where slender, poorly-nurtured women tended a few sheep or a goat, or occupied themselves in bleaching linen. |
 | | In 1873, when Mauve was suffering from one of his fits of dejection, he spent some weeks at Godesberg, on the German Rhine. |
