Josef Israëls DUTCH: 1824-
AN OLD MAN WALKING
Height, 33½ inches; width, 23 inches
This is the full-length figure of an old man, dressed in rather shabby clothes and walking toward the spectator, his left hand resting on a short stick and his right hand extended as if gesticulating. His head is in three-quarters view to the left, strongly lighted from the upper left, and the background is a broken tone of gray.
Signed at the lower right, Josef Israëls.
