The Studio of the Haarlem Painter Pieter Frederik van Os

Anton Mauve (1838–1888), oil on paper laid down on canvas, c. 1856–1857

This painter’s studio was located in the Town Hall of Haarlem. All manner of studio attributes are shown: drawings of nude models, a painted nocturnal land-scape and some plaster casts. A small oil sketch of a goat, a set of deer antlers and a horseshoe indicate that Van Os was mainly an animal painter. A young pupil kneels before the monumental 17th-century fireplace and looks through a portfolio of sketches.
