Kinderen spelend met een scheepje aan het strand 1835 - 1911

This etching, "Kinderen spelend met een scheepje aan het strand," depicts two children playing with a toy boat on a beach. The scene is rendered in a simple, yet poignant style, characteristic of the Dutch realist painter Jozef Israëls, who created it between 1835 and 1911. The work is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. The artist's focus on everyday life and natural light give the work a sense of intimacy and authenticity. The etching evokes a sense of quiet contemplation and the simple pleasures of childhood.
