Abklatsch van de krijttekening op pagina 23 1875 - 1934

This charcoal sketch, "Abklatsch van de krijttekening op pagina 23," is a preliminary study by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, dating from between 1875 and 1934. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into Israels' creative process. The light strokes of charcoal suggest an emphasis on capturing the essence of the subject, likely a figure, through simple lines and forms. It serves as a reminder of the artist's dedication to observation and experimentation, as well as his mastery of drawing.
