"Waiting for Daddy" (Dutch: "Langs moeders graf" or "By Mother's Grave") is an evocative painting by Jozef Israëls, a prominent 19th-century Dutch artist associated with the Hague School. Created in 1869, this work exemplifies Israëls' mastery in portraying scenes of everyday life with a profound sense of emotion and humanity. The painting depicts a poignant moment of a young girl and her grandmother waiting by a grave, presumably for the girl's father. The somber mood is accentuated by Israëls' use of muted colors and his focus on the expressions of the figures, which convey a deep sense of anticipation and sorrow.

Jozef Israëls, often referred to as the "Dutch Millet," was renowned for his ability to capture the struggles and the dignity of the common folk, and "Waiting for Daddy" is a quintessential example of his social realist approach. The painting's theme of loss and the passage of time reflects the broader 19th-century artistic interest in the human condition and the emotional resonance of ordinary life.

The work is significant within Israëls' oeuvre as it showcases his skill in narrative storytelling through art, a characteristic that made him a central figure in the Hague School and earned him international acclaim. "Waiting for Daddy" remains an important piece for both its artistic merit and its cultural representation of the period, continuing to draw the attention of art historians and the public alike for its touching portrayal of human experience.
