Als men oud wordt 1834 - 1911

"Als men oud wordt" (When one grows old) is a drawing by Jozef Israëls, a Dutch painter known for his realist depictions of everyday life. Created between 1834 and 1911, the artwork depicts an elderly man seated by a fireplace, highlighting the theme of aging and the passage of time. The drawing's loose, expressive lines and the inclusion of a clock in the background further emphasize the fleeting nature of life. This piece is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
