Modistenatelier 1919

"Modistenatelier" is a charcoal and pastel drawing by the Dutch artist Isaac Israels, created in 1919. The artwork depicts two women in a millinery shop, with one woman seated and the other standing, likely a milliner and her customer. Israels's use of loose, expressive lines and a muted palette creates a sense of intimacy and movement. The piece reflects the artist's mastery of capturing fleeting moments and the everyday lives of ordinary people, a hallmark of his Impressionist style.
