Studies van een hond 1834 - 1911

"Studies van een hond" (Studies of a Dog) is a pencil drawing by Jozef Israëls, one of the leading figures of the Hague School. Created sometime between 1834 and 1911, the artwork showcases Israëls’ mastery of capturing movement and form through quick, expressive lines. The drawing features several studies of a dog in various poses, demonstrating the artist's keen observation of animal anatomy. The loose and spontaneous nature of the lines adds a sense of dynamism to the composition. This work is a testament to Israëls' skill in capturing fleeting moments and natural gestures, making it a fascinating example of his practice and artistic approach.
