Rijtuigen op straat 1887 - 1934

"Rijtuigen op straat" is a pencil sketch by Isaac Israels, a Dutch painter known for his Impressionistic depictions of daily life. This work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures a fleeting moment of urban life in a sketchy, almost unfinished style. The artist’s loose lines and quick strokes emphasize the movement of the carriages on the street, reflecting the dynamic nature of modern society. The simplicity of the composition and the raw energy of the lines make this sketch a quintessential example of Israels’ artistic approach.
