Cellospelende vrouw 1834 - 1911

"Cellospelende vrouw" is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Jozef Israëls, created between 1834 and 1911. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a woman seated in profile, her hand poised as if playing a cello. The delicate, sketchy lines of the drawing capture the movement and emotion of the subject, highlighting Israëls’ mastery of capturing everyday moments and the beauty of human form. This piece is a testament to the artist's exploration of realism and the intimate portrayal of life in 19th-century Europe.
