Staande vrouw, in profiel 1875 - 1934

"Staande vrouw, in profiel" is a charcoal drawing by Isaac Israels, a Dutch painter and draftsman known for his portraits and genre scenes. Created between 1875 and 1934, this sketch captures a female figure in profile, showcasing Israels's masterful use of line and form. The drawing's loose, expressive lines suggest a rapid, spontaneous gesture, capturing the essence of the subject rather than striving for complete realism. It is a characteristic example of Israels's dynamic style and his keen observation of everyday life. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artist's working process and his ability to evoke a sense of movement and life within a simple sketch.
