Israëls shed his academic style before he was 30. Thereafter, from what I can tell from images of his works on the internet, his style became quite sketchy, though he did not distort colors or proportions of his subjects. So he was a modernist to only a limited degree.
They were probably headed to the Netherlands East Indies. This was painted a year or two after Israëls left the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague.
Hirsch was a department store found in several European cities, including Amsterdam.
Gertie, again.
Israëls painted many beach scenes.
This seems to be from around 1930, judging by the hairdo and costume.

Thank you !!! I didn't realise Jozef Israëls had a son, but even so, I would not have guessed that Isaac had been much influenced by dad. Apart from Josef Israëls' occasional beach scene, the older artist seemed to prefer darkish colours, male subjects and crisp lines.
Perhaps that was why dad became well known whilst young Isaac less so.
