Ezelrijdende vrouwen op het strand 1875 - 1934

"Ezelrijdende vrouwen op het strand" (Women Riding Donkeys on the Beach) is a graphite sketch by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, housed in the Rijksmuseum. The sketch, dated between 1875 and 1934, captures a moment on a beach with figures riding donkeys, a subject often explored in Israels' work. While the sketch is rough, it showcases his skill in capturing movement and light with a few lines. This is a typical example of Israels' style, with quick lines and strong chiaroscuro effects.
