About the Item

Woman Reading by JOZEF ISRAËLS (1824-1911) Oil on Panel 21 x 12.5 cm (8 1/4 x 4 15/16 inches) Signed lower right Executed circa 1870 Artist biography Dutch-Jewish artist Jozef Israëls was born at Groningen and studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Amsterdam and the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Settling in The Hague in 1870, he became a leader of the Barbizon-inspired Hague School of artists. Realistically depicting the labouring poor gave Israëls an ideal vehicle for exploring, with peculiar intensity, his own deep well of human sympathy. Exhibiting in The Netherlands and across Europe, Israëls achieved great success, becoming one of the most respected Dutch artists of his century. Created a Knight-Officer of the prestigious Order of Leopold in 1886, Israëls sat for his own portrait by the Scottish painter George Paul Chambers.

  • Double Portrait of King Frederik IV and Queen Louise of Mecklenburg-Güstrow of D
    Located in New Orleans, LA
    When viewed straight on, this "turning picture" by French artist Gaspar Antoine de Bois-Clair appears to be a disorganized collection of painted facial features and wooden slats. However, when viewed at an angle from either side, two separate images are revealed — portraits of Frederik IV and Louise of Mecklenburg-Güstrow, the King and Queen of Denmark. A wonder of both portraiture and trompe l'oeil, this work demonstrates the artist's skill in rendering intriguing visual effects. An impressive exercise in representing depth and 3-dimensionality in painting, the work is executed on a series of triangularly-cut strips of wood to create an effect now known as lenticular imaging...
