Vrouw met een mand 1834 - 1911

"Vrouw met een mand" is a simple, yet expressive pencil sketch by Dutch realist painter Jozef Israëls. Created sometime between 1834 and 1911, the artwork captures a woman with a basket, possibly a peasant, in a quick, gestural style. This sketch, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Israëls's working process and his interest in depicting everyday life and the working class.
