Publiek bij een violist 1875 - 1934

"Publiek bij een violist" (Audience at a Violinist) is a dynamic sketch by Isaac Israels, a Dutch painter known for his expressive and often impressionistic style. Dated between 1875 and 1934, this piece, currently residing in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a scene with bold lines capturing the energy and movement of a violinist performing before an audience. The use of charcoal creates a sense of immediacy and spontaneity, characteristic of Israels' quick sketches and studies.
