About the painting
Riding Donkeys on the Beach or The Donkey Ride is an oil on canvas painting executed by the Dutch artist Isaac Israëls, created c. 1898-1900. It is held in the Rijksmuseum, in Amsterdam.
In the museum's words
In contrast to Hague School painters, Isaac Israels depicted the carefree, touristic aspect of the seaside resort of Scheveningen. He often used models for these scenes – in this case, his acquaintances Suze Pont, Agatha Pauw and her little sister. Israels worked rapidly: ‘Never work too much, no more than two hours at a stretch, do not fuss too long, otherwise you will lose your freshness.’
