Bos met zittende tekenaar 1834 - 1911

"Bos met zittende tekenaar" is a pencil sketch by Jozef Israëls, a Dutch artist known for his realistic depictions of everyday life. Created between 1834 and 1911, this small-scale drawing captures the essence of a wooded landscape, with a lone figure sketching amidst the trees. The loose, expressive lines of the sketch suggest a quick, on-location study, capturing the artist's immediate response to the scene. The piece currently resides in the Rijksmuseum, offering viewers a glimpse into Israëls' artistic process and his keen observation of nature.
