Studie 1834 - 1911

"Studie" is a preliminary sketch by Dutch painter Jozef Israëls, dating between 1834 and 1911. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a simple, lightly sketched scene, likely a preliminary study for a larger painting. Israëls was known for his realist paintings, often focusing on the lives of working-class people. The sketch's loose lines suggest the artist's exploration of composition and form, hinting at a larger narrative to be developed. This work offers a glimpse into Israëls' creative process and his focus on everyday life.
