Twee mannen en kinderen rondom een tafel bij een venster 1834 - 1911

"Twee mannen en kinderen rondom een tafel bij een venster" is a pencil sketch by Jozef Israëls, one of the prominent figures of the Hague School, dating back to 1834-1911. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a simple domestic scene with a group of people gathered around a table near a window. The loose, gestural lines of the drawing convey a sense of intimacy and everyday life, characteristic of Israëls' work. The artist's focus on depicting ordinary people in their natural settings, combined with the use of a restrained palette, reflects the Realism movement prevalent during his lifetime.
