Zittende boer, van opzij 1834 - 1911

"Zittende boer, van opzij" is a pencil drawing by Dutch painter Jozef Israëls, created between 1834 and 1911. It depicts a seated farmer in profile, with his head bowed, holding a walking stick. The drawing is characterized by the artist’s signature use of expressive lines and hatching, which conveys both the physical form and the emotional state of the subject. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Israëls' focus on everyday life and the struggles of ordinary people.
