Wolken 1834 - 1911

"Wolken" (Clouds), a pencil sketch by Jozef Israëls, is a simple yet striking study of the sky. Created between 1834 and 1911, this work highlights Israëls's early interest in capturing natural phenomena. The delicate lines suggest the movement and texture of clouds, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. This sketch, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases Israëls's keen observation and mastery of light and shadow.
