Paard met een kar in een landschap 1834 - 1911

This quick sketch, created by Dutch realist painter Jozef Israëls, depicts a horse pulling a cart across a landscape. The drawing is in a very loose style, using charcoal and pencil on paper. The scene is evocative of the artist's focus on depicting everyday life, often focusing on the working class and those struggling in poverty. This drawing, dating from 1834-1911, was likely a preliminary study for a larger work, typical of Israëls' prolific output. "Paard met een kar in een landschap" is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
