More about this artwork

"" (1892) is a poignant work by the Dutch master Jozef Israëls, a leading figure of the Hague School. This evocative painting captures the raw emotions and harsh realities faced by the rural working class in the 19th century. Set against a vast, muted landscape that fades into a hazy horizon, the scene focuses on an elderly figure clad in rugged attire, leaning heavily on a handcart. Accompanied by a tired, stooping dog, both appear weighed down by the burden of labor and life's hardships.Israëls's mastery in depicting the fatigue and perseverance of his subjects is evident in the weather-beaten faces and the stooped posture of the figure, evoking a deep empathy in the viewer. The artist uses a subdued palette dominated by earthy tones, which seamlessly blends the figures into their environment, highlighting their intrinsic connection to the land.The painting not only portrays the physical toll of daily toil but also resonates with the emotional resilience of those who live at the mercy of the elements.

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.
