About the piece

Painted by Jozef Israëls in 1851, this piece captures a quiet moment of domestic life typical of the Hague School. The young fisherman's daughter, Ida, is shown barefoot and contemplative, her figure dramatically lit against the dark interior and the rustic textures of the brick and vine-covered wall.
