Studie 1834 - 1911

Jozef Israëls’ *Studie* is a faint pencil drawing on paper, likely a preliminary sketch for a larger work. The subject appears to be a landscape, possibly with figures, but is only faintly visible. The loose lines and sketchy quality suggest a fleeting moment of observation, typical of Israëls’ style. As a prominent member of the Hague School, he focused on realist depictions of daily life, often featuring the working class. This drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artist’s creative process, revealing his meticulous approach to capturing the world around him.
