The studio of the Haarlem painter Pieter Frederik van Os, Anton Mauve
This painting studio was located in the city hall of Haarlem. All the ingredients of a studio are present: drawings of a nude model, a landscape at night and some plaster casts. A small sketch of a billy goat, a deer antler and a horseshoe show that Van Os was primarily a painter of animals. A young pupil kneels in front of the monumental 17th-century fireplace and goes through the drawing portfolio.
