Stilleven van gereedschap 1834 - 1911

"Stilleven van gereedschap" (Still Life of Tools), a pencil drawing by Jozef Israëls, is a study in light and shadow. The composition is simple, featuring a watering can, a bucket, and other tools arranged against a background of blurred foliage. The light falls on the tools, creating a sense of depth and volume. This is a typical example of Israëls' style, which was marked by a focus on everyday objects and the everyday lives of ordinary people. The drawing is housed in the Rijksmuseum.
