Vier schetsen van kinderhoofden 1834 - 1911

This 1834 - 1911 drawing, "Vier schetsen van kinderhoofden," by Jozef Israëls, depicts four sketches of children's heads. It is an example of Israëls' focus on everyday life and his talent for capturing the innocence and fragility of youth. The sketches, held at the Rijksmuseum, demonstrate his mastery of line and the expressive power of simple strokes. Their intimate scale allows viewers to connect closely with the subjects' emotional states.
