Twee vrouwen bij een wasbak c. 1915s - 1925s

"Twee vrouwen bij een wasbak" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, dated to the 1910s or 1920s. The sketch depicts two women, one bending over a sink, possibly washing dishes, while the other leans forward, observing. This informal and expressive work is characteristic of Israels' style, known for capturing everyday moments with a focus on light, shadow, and gesture. The loose and gestural lines suggest a quick study, capturing a fleeting moment of domestic life. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, a testament to Israels' enduring legacy in Dutch art.
