"Vrouw op een stoel" (Woman on a Chair) is a charcoal sketch by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, created between the 1910s and 1920s and currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. This quick sketch, captured in gestural lines, highlights Israels' mastery of capturing the essence of a subject with minimal detail. The composition focuses on the woman's figure, partially obscured by the chair, in a loose, expressive style that defines the artist's unique artistic approach, influenced by Impressionism and Symbolism.
