Description
Original hand-painted oil on canvas signed ''J. Israels''. Image shows three barefoot figures walking. A fisherman passes the grave of his deceased wife, carrying their infant daughter and young son. Done in the Tonalist style of Josef Israels (Dutch, 1824-1911). This piece is a much smaller version of Israels’ ''Langs Moeders Graf'' (Along Mother's Grave). Piece measures approximately 29.5'' x 24.25''.
(Askart.com) Born in Groningen, Holland, in 1824, Josef Israels was brought up in the traditions of the Jewish faith and destined for the rabbinate. His interest in drawing grew stronger with age however, and in 1840 his father finally relented, sending him to Amsterdam. There he spent his days working in the studio of Jan Kruseman and his evenings painting at the Royal Academy under Jan Pieneman, both leading portrait painters. In Paris, Israels studied a short time with the historical painter Francois Picot and also at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts.
