Studies van een boerin 1834 - 1911

"Studies van een boerin" (Studies of a Peasant Woman), a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Jozef Israëls, is a preparatory sketch from the Rijksmuseum. Created between 1834 and 1911, the artwork displays the artist’s signature style of realism and focus on everyday life. The drawing features a peasant woman in her traditional clothing, possibly a farmer or farm worker, with a few studies of different angles and poses of the figure. The work showcases Israëls' masterful handling of light and shadow, contributing to the depth and realism of the composition.
