Vrouwenbuste met hoofddeksel c. 1915s - 1925s

This quick sketch, "Vrouwenbuste met hoofddeksel" ("Woman's Bust with Head Covering"), was created by Isaac Israels, a prominent Dutch painter of the early 20th century. Dating from the 1910s or 1920s, the work depicts a woman's face with a head covering in a loose and gestural style. The artist's use of swift lines and subtle shading captures the essence of his subject. The drawing’s simplicity and delicate lines are characteristic of Israels’ style, known for its sensitivity to light and mood. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, providing art enthusiasts with a glimpse into Israels’ artistic process and his exploration of the female form.
