This portrait by Isaac Israels depicts Mrs. D. Calisch-Hijmans Kröller-Müller, a prominent figure in Dutch art patronage. The painting captures her seated on a beach, holding a parasol. She gazes out at the sea, with the horizon and beach forming the background. This casual outdoor scene suggests a moment of leisure and contemplation. The brushwork is loose and expressive, giving the artwork a sense of immediacy and capturing the light and atmosphere of the beach. The painting showcases Israels' ability to portray both the sitter's personality and the natural beauty of the environment.
