Schets van een landschap 1834 - 1911

"Schets van een landschap" is a pencil sketch by Jozef Israëls, a renowned Dutch painter known for his realist style and depictions of everyday life. Created between 1834 and 1911, this preliminary drawing showcases Israëls' masterful use of line and shading to capture the essence of a landscape. The delicate strokes suggest a forest scene, with the artist focusing on the interplay of light and shadow within the trees. This sketch, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Israëls' meticulous approach to art and his fascination with the natural world.
