Schets van een landschap 1834 - 1911

"Schets van een landschap" (Sketch of a Landscape) is a pencil drawing on paper by Dutch artist Jozef Israëls. Dating to 1834-1911, the piece depicts a simple, delicate sketch of a landscape, possibly a hill or mountain range. The minimalist approach, with just a few lines, reflects the artist's focus on capturing the essence of the scene rather than detailed realism. The small size of the work, only 105 mm high and 160 mm wide, underscores its intimate nature and its status as a preliminary sketch, perhaps for a larger painting. Today, the drawing is part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
