Twee vrouwen en een kind rondom een eettafel c. 1885 - 1902

"Twee vrouwen en een kind rondom een eettafel" is a pencil sketch by Jozef Israëls, a Dutch painter known for his realistic depictions of everyday life. The work, created between 1885 and 1902, shows three figures gathered around a table, likely a family scene. The sketchy style and loose lines convey a sense of intimacy and spontaneity, characteristic of Israëls' approach to capturing the human condition. This study, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Israëls' creative process and his ability to imbue even preliminary sketches with emotional depth.
