"By the Sheepfold" is a painting by Anton Mauve, a 19th-century Dutch Realist painter who was a leading member of the Hague School. Mauve is best known for his pastoral scenes that often feature animals, particularly sheep, and this work is a quintessential example of his favored subject matter. The painting depicts a serene moment in the countryside, with a shepherd or farm worker tending to the sheep near a fold. Mauve's use of soft, naturalistic colors and his sensitive rendering of light and shadow reflect his interest in capturing the tranquil beauty of rural life.

Mauve's technique and composition in "By the Sheepfold" demonstrate his skill in creating a harmonious and balanced scene, which invites the viewer to contemplate the peaceful coexistence of humans and nature. The work is imbued with a sense of calm and timelessness, characteristic of Mauve's oeuvre. As with many of his paintings, "By the Sheepfold" likely conveys the influence of the French Barbizon School, which emphasized the beauty of the natural landscape and the dignity of labor.

Anton Mauve was an important influence on his nephew-in-law, Vincent van Gogh, who admired Mauve's ability to capture the essence of rural life. "By the Sheepfold" not only exemplifies Mauve's artistic legacy but also provides insight into the broader context of 19th-century European art, where there was a growing appreciation for scenes of everyday life and the natural environment.

The painting is part of Mauve's mature period, during which he had fully developed his style and gained considerable recognition. It remains a testament to his reputation as a master of the pastoral genre and continues to be appreciated for its quiet beauty and technical proficiency. "By the Sheepfold" is held in a public or private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the understanding and appreciation of the Hague School's contribution to art history.
