Vrouw in een jurk, mogelijk een danseres 1875 - 1934

"Vrouw in een jurk, mogelijk een danseres" (Woman in a dress, possibly a dancer) is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Isaac Israels. Created sometime between 1875 and 1934, this quick study, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures a fleeting movement, perhaps of a dancer in a flowing gown. The sketchy lines suggest a sense of spontaneity, capturing the essence of the figure rather than precise detail. This piece offers a glimpse into Israels' artistic process and his interest in the human form.
