Boer zittend op een kruiwagen 1834 - 1911

"Boer zittend op een kruiwagen" is a pencil drawing by Jozef Israëls, one of the prominent Dutch realist painters of the 19th century. The artwork, dated between 1834 and 1911, captures a simple scene of a farmer seated on a wheelbarrow, likely taking a break from his labor. Israëls' signature style is evident in the nuanced details of the figure and the surrounding landscape, depicting the daily life of ordinary people with empathy and realism. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this small-scale drawing showcases the artist's keen eye for capturing moments of quiet contemplation and the beauty of everyday existence.
