Staande man aan een waterkant 1834 - 1911

"Staande man aan een waterkant" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Jozef Israëls. It is a preliminary drawing for a larger work that was likely created between 1834 and 1911, the year of Israëls' death. The sketch depicts a man standing on a water's edge, likely in a contemplative pose, with the use of gestural lines conveying movement and the subject's form. This artwork offers insight into the artist's creative process, revealing his early stages of composition and draftsmanship. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
