This 1904 watercolor by Isaac Israels, titled "Man with three girls on a bench in the Oosterpark in Amsterdam," depicts a man sitting with three young girls on a park bench. The setting is likely the Oosterpark in Amsterdam, as the title suggests. The loose brushstrokes and muted colors are characteristic of Israels' style, which often focused on everyday scenes of Dutch life.

The painting’s subject matter and style are indicative of the Impressionist movement, which emphasized capturing fleeting moments and everyday scenes.
