Twee mannetjes 1834 - 1911

"Twee mannetjes" is a quick sketch by Dutch painter Jozef Israëls, created between 1834 and 1911, and currently housed at the Rijksmuseum. The minimalist composition depicts two figures in the upper right corner of the page, sketched with delicate lines. This simple yet expressive drawing highlights Israëls' mastery of capturing movement and emotion in a fleeting moment, characteristic of his later artistic style, which often focused on everyday life and social themes.
