A Scene of Life in Laren — Jozef Israëls

Jozef Israëls. Painted 1905.

Laren was one of the Hague School painters’ favourite places. Israëls went there from 1874, when the village of smallholders and shepherds was still entirely authentic. Once the painters had discovered it, Laren became a genuine artists’ colony and subsequently a tourist honeypot. Israëls will have thus painted this charming scene of a girl in a door opening largely from memory.
