About the piece
This evocative oil painting by Jozef Israëls, a leading figure of the Hague School, depicts two children wading in the surf as they sail a toy boat. Painted with loose, expressive brushstrokes in a palette of silvery blues and warm neutrals, the work captures a fleeting moment of seaside play beneath a vast, luminous sky.
