Peeling Potatoes is a 1880 by Jozef Israëls, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two kids in a simple room. One sits on a stool, peeling something with a knife, while the other kneels nearby holding a bowl. The walls and floor are drawn with quick, rough lines. In the background, there’s a chair, a table, and a few loose objects like a hat and a pot. The artist focused on everyday life, not fancy scenes. The sketch feels quick and real, like a snapshot of a moment. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this sketch in person.
