Driving a donkey along the beach, Isaac Israels One of the most remarkable things in Isaac Israels' oeuvre is the way he defined a point of view. With bold brushstrokes, in which he omitted all that was superfluous, he set up his painting. Moreover, once he adopted a form, he did not change it. Only his subjects would keep changing. In the late nineteenth century, Isaac Israels and his father Jozef Israels were inspired by the bathing life of fashionable Scheveningen. The boulevard with its strolling ladies, children playing along the waterfront and donkey-riding were his subjects.
