Vaas met bloemen 1834 - 1911

"Vaas met bloemen" is a pencil drawing by Dutch painter Jozef Israëls, dating between 1834 and 1911. The drawing, located in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a simple still life of flowers in a vase. The work is characterized by delicate lines and shading, emphasizing the forms and textures of the flowers. The composition is focused on the central bouquet, with the vase only partially visible, contributing to a sense of intimacy and immediacy. This intimate style is characteristic of Israëls' later works, where he explored the simple beauty of everyday subjects.
