Studieblad, onder andere met roeiboten, bomen en een dakrand 1834 - 1911

"Studie blad, onder andere met roeiboten, bomen en een dakrand" (Study sheet, including rowing boats, trees and a roof edge) is a pencil sketch by Dutch painter Jozef Israëls, completed between 1834 and 1911. This preliminary sketch, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, shows a variety of compositional studies for the artist's larger works, including a roofline, trees and boats. The quick, light strokes capture the essence of these elements, showcasing the artist's adept hand in conveying form and volume. This study highlights Israëls' approach to composition, using small-scale sketches to explore potential arrangements for his more developed artworks.
