Zittende vrouw met paraplu 1875 - 1934

"Zittende vrouw met paraplu" (Seated Woman with Umbrella) is a pencil sketch created between 1875 and 1934 by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, currently held at the Rijksmuseum. The sketch, featuring a woman sitting with a closed umbrella in her lap, is a quick but expressive study, demonstrating Israels' masterful use of line to capture the human figure. This work, likely a preliminary study for a larger painting, reveals Israels' approach to capturing the essence of his subjects through a minimal yet evocative style.
