Figuurstudies, mogelijk figuren in badkleding 1875 - 1934

This page of sketches by Isaac Israels, a Dutch painter and graphic artist, is a study in figure drawing. It depicts a series of quick and gestural sketches, possibly of figures in bathing suits, done in the artist's characteristic loose and expressive style. The work is a testament to Israels's interest in capturing the human form, both in motion and at rest, with a sense of immediacy. It highlights a fundamental aspect of art-making: the practice of observation and experimentation in creating art. This sketch was created between 1875 and 1934 and is currently held in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
