Park 1834 - 1911

"Park" is a pencil drawing by Jozef Israëls, a prominent Dutch realist painter known for his depictions of everyday life. This 19th-century sketch captures a tranquil park scene with trees and a pathway, hinting at the artist's fascination with nature and his preference for simple, unassuming subjects. The delicate pencil strokes, particularly noticeable in the foliage, create a sense of depth and light. This intimate drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a glimpse into Israëls' working process, demonstrating his mastery of capturing the essence of a landscape with minimal detail.
