Enkele figuurschetsen 1834 - 1911

"Enkele figuurschetsen" (Several Figure Sketches) is a work by Dutch painter Jozef Israëls, dating back to the period between 1834 and 1911. It's a pencil sketch held in the Rijksmuseum, featuring a collection of lightly sketched figures. The work demonstrates Israëls's interest in capturing the essence of human form in a quick and informal style. These sketches likely served as preliminary studies for larger paintings. The delicate lines and minimalist details create a sense of immediacy and informality, reflecting a common artistic practice during the 19th century.
