EDITORS COMMENTS
This pencil drawing by Isaac Lazerus Israels, titled "Queue of people waiting," transports us back in time to the 1890s-1920s in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The image portrays a long line of men and women huddled together around a campfire, waiting their turn for transportation across the canal. The dark, silhouetted figures are illuminated only by the flickering campfire, adding an air of mystery and intrigue. Israels masterfully captures the essence of hardship and the passage of time in this impressionist sketch. The low country setting, with its quaint houses and water transport, is a testament to the Dutch heritage and the challenges faced by its people during this era. The use of pencil and watercolor paint adds depth and texture to the image, making it a valuable addition to any art or museum collection. The concept of queuing is a universal one, and this drawing offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the shared human experience of waiting in line. The people in the drawing appear destitute, yet they are united in their common goal of moving forward, demonstrating the resilience and perseverance of the human spirit. The time of day, with the darkness encroaching, adds a sense of urgency and the need for community and warmth around the campfire. This drawing is a poignant reminder of the past and the rich artistic heritage of the Netherlands.
