Studie 1834 - 1911

"Studie" is a pencil sketch on paper created by Dutch painter Jozef Israëls between 1834 and 1911. This preliminary study, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Israëls's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture fleeting moments of life. The sketch likely served as a preparatory work for a larger painting, illustrating Israëls's process of developing his compositions. Despite its rudimentary appearance, the work reveals the artist's keen observation and his mastery of line and tone.
