Vrouw en een meisje 1834 - 1911

"Vrouw en een meisje" (Woman and a Girl) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Jozef Israëls, created between 1834 and 1911. The intimate composition features two figures: a woman and a girl, with the girl seemingly looking out of a window. This delicate sketch, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Israëls' mastery of capturing fleeting moments and intimate relationships through the medium of pencil. His focus on everyday life and emotional expression, characteristic of the Realism movement, is evident in this simple yet powerful work.
