Vrouw in kaarshouding met gebogen benen c. 1915s - 1925s

"Vrouw in kaarshouding met gebogen benen" is a pencil sketch created by Dutch painter Isaac Israels between 1915 and 1925. The artwork depicts a female figure in a dynamic pose, possibly a study for a larger piece. The sketch, held in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Israels' signature style of capturing the human form with expressive lines and gestural strokes. The simplicity of the composition and the emphasis on form over detail exemplify the artist's interest in exploring the essence of movement and human anatomy.
