Meisje met een paard 1834 - 1911

"Meisje met een paard" (Girl with a Horse), a pencil sketch by Jozef Israëls, is a delicate and expressive depiction of a young girl and a horse. The loose, gestural lines of the artwork create a sense of movement and intimacy, capturing a fleeting moment between the two figures. The sketch is notable for its sensitive portrayal of the girl's face and the horse's head, rendered in a soft, almost hazy style. This study, created between 1834 and 1911, reveals Israëls' keen observational skills and his ability to convey emotion through simple yet evocative strokes. This artwork is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
