More about this artwork
In the painting, there is a portrait of a young girl with wavy blonde hair cascading around her face. The girl's expression is contemplative and soft, her gaze seemingly directed slightly upward. Her eyes are large and detailed with hints of blue and gray, radiating a sense of quiet introspection. Her cheeks are tinged with a delicate flush of pink, complimenting her fair complexion. She is wearing what appears to be a blue garment with a hint of a white collar visible at the neck, adding a subtle contrast to her light features and hair. The brushwork is loose and fluid, capturing the youthful innocence and the delicate features of her face with gentle strokes in watercolor.

Jozef Israëls was a Dutch painter. He was a leading member of the group of landscape painters referred to as the Hague School and, during his lifetime, "the most respected Dutch artist of the second half of the nineteenth century".
He was born in Groningen, of Jewish parents. His father, Hartog Abraham Israëls, intended for him to be a businessman, and it was only after a determined struggle that he was allowed to embark on an artistic career. He studied initially from 1835 to 1842 at the Minerva Academy in his home town Groningen.
