Landschap 1834 - 1911

"Landschap" is a pencil sketch by Dutch realist painter Jozef Israëls, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. Created sometime between 1834 and 1911, the work depicts a simple landscape scene, likely a rural setting. The artist's loose, expressive strokes capture the essence of a solitary tree standing in the foreground, with a hint of foliage and a distant horizon beyond. This preliminary sketch offers a glimpse into Israëls' artistic process and his sensitivity to natural forms.
