THE PEASANT’S HOME
Water Color
Height, 12 inches; width, 8½ inches
An old Dutch peasant in rough garments, wooden shoes and with an apron tied around his waist, is engaged in sweeping the ground with a rough besom, near the corner of an old board hovel. A barrel partly filled with sticks stands near him, and beyond is suggested a grassy field bounded in the distance by a grove of slender trees.
Signed at the lower right, A. Mauve.
