Kunstenaar die in de open lucht werkt 1834 - 1911

This pencil drawing by Dutch artist Jozef Israëls, titled "Kunstenaar die in de open lucht werkt", depicts an artist painting outdoors. Created sometime between 1834 and 1911, the sketch captures the artist in a moment of creative concentration, hunched over his easel, with a hat and umbrella providing shade. The drawing's loose lines and simple composition emphasize the artist's focused pose and the tranquility of the setting. The work is a fascinating glimpse into the artist's creative process and the popular practice of "plein air" painting in the 19th century. The drawing is part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcasing the breadth of Israëls' artistic output.
