This painting, titled The Shipwrecked Mariner, was done by the Dutch artist Josef Israels (1824-1911). Israels is credited as the greatest painter of the modern Dutch school and described by many as the "Dutch Millet." He studied in Paris with Paul Delaroche. In his masterly canvases, in which subject and atmosphere are in perfect harmony, he reveals himself as a powerful painter and a tender poet. The painting shows his charming characteristic of being a poet-painter.
