Morning Horse Ride on the Beach (by Anton Mauve) Tissue Paper

This design features an artwork by the Dutch realist painter Anthonij (Anton) Rudolf Mauve (1838–1888), who was a leading member of the Hague School. Mauve's cousin-in-law was Vincent van Gogh. The painting shows gentlemen in suits and top hats; they are riding on horseback along the beach. The sky and sea are blue with the morning sun. The three horses nearest to the viewer have three different coloured coats: from left to right, they are white, chestnut and black. There are bathing cabins on the beach, ready for swimmers. The original painting was produced in 1876.
