"Op vrijersvoeten" (On a Courtship), painted between 1834 and 1911, is a watercolor by Dutch artist Jozef Israëls (1824-1911). The painting depicts a young couple walking through a field, with a cow and two sheep grazing in the background. Israëls was known for his realistic portrayal of everyday life, particularly among the working class of the Netherlands. The painting's soft colors and gentle brushstrokes convey a sense of tranquility and intimacy. "Op vrijersvoeten" is a charming and heartwarming example of Israëls' work, capturing the simple pleasures of rural life.
