Studieblad met vrouwen en kinderen 1834 - 1911

"Studie blad met vrouwen en kinderen" is a pencil sketch by Jozef Israëls, a Dutch painter known for his realism and social themes. Created sometime between 1834 and 1911, this quick study showcases Israëls’ interest in capturing everyday life, particularly the lives of ordinary people. The drawing features multiple figures, primarily women and children, depicted in various postures and activities, revealing a sense of intimacy and immediacy. This sketch is a testament to Israëls' mastery of capturing the essence of his subjects through a simple yet expressive use of lines. The drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
