Vrouwenhoofd c. 1886 - 1903

This charcoal drawing, "Vrouwenhoofd" by Isaac Israels, is a quick sketch of a woman's head. The artist's use of gestural lines and loose shading creates a sense of immediacy and captures the essence of the subject's form. The work, created between 1886 and 1903, is representative of Israels' interest in capturing the fleeting moments of daily life. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the artist's distinctive style of depicting figures with expressive lines and a focus on capturing natural moments.
