Seated Female Nude 1875 - 1934

"Seated Female Nude" is a watercolor painting by Isaac Israels, a Dutch painter known for his depictions of daily life and figures. Created between 1875 and 1934, this work, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a study of a nude female figure. The gestural brushstrokes, characteristic of Israels' style, capture the form of the body in an expressive and evocative manner. The washes of watercolor, ranging from soft pinks to earthy browns, suggest a sense of intimacy and vulnerability.
