Ruiter en een vrouw, in profiel 1875 - 1934

"Ruiter en een vrouw, in profiel" is a quick sketch created between 1875 and 1934 by Dutch artist Isaac Israels. The sketch is a preliminary study in pencil for a larger painting, depicting a rider and a woman in profile. The rapid strokes and rough lines suggest a fleeting observation, characteristic of Israels's work. This drawing offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process, capturing a moment of inspiration before it was fully realized in a finished work. The sketch is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to the importance of preserving even the most seemingly insignificant artistic endeavors.
