Vrouw met kind, lopend over het strand 1834 - 1911

"Vrouw met kind, lopend over het strand" is a watercolor painting by the Dutch artist Jozef Israëls, completed between 1834 and 1911. The artwork depicts a woman and a child walking along a beach, their figures silhouetted against the vast, pale horizon. This painting, like many of Israëls' works, exemplifies the Realist movement and the artist's penchant for capturing the everyday lives of ordinary people, often focusing on social issues and the hardships of the working class. The muted palette and the depiction of the figures' simple clothing and weary postures contribute to the painting's melancholic and poignant atmosphere.
