Isaac portrayed female bathers and had models pose for him, but his favourite theme (and that of his clients) was the colourful, lively depiction of elegantly dressed girls on donkey-rides accompanied by a young donkey driver. A number of variations on this theme are known; the girls are always seated askew on the donkey, dressed in attractive white or pastel-coloured summer dresses, wearing straw hats or ribbons in their hair. In most cases, the donkey driver follows barefooted behind the donkeys dressed in a blue tunic with a cap on his head and a stick or whip in one of his hands. Thirty-five of the almost hundred paintings he made in Scheveningen have these adorable animals and their riders as their main theme. Most of them were made between 1895 and 1902. These works by Israels are some his most sought after subjects. Donkey riding on the beach of Scheveningen has a long tradition, starting around 1860, or even before. Other animals were also used to divert the children. Mules, ponies and horses were also waiting near the Pier for a ride. In the 1920's, even ostriches were used, pulling the children along the beach in a little cart - CHRISTIE'S Lot Essay
