Vrouw, staand met de handen achter de rug 1834 - 1911

"Vrouw, staand met de handen achter de rug" is a charcoal sketch by Dutch realist painter Jozef Israëls. Created sometime between 1834 and 1911, the drawing depicts a woman standing with her hands clasped behind her back. The quick, gestural lines of the sketch suggest a study for a larger composition, highlighting Israëls' interest in capturing the human form in a spontaneous and expressive manner. The artwork is currently held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and exemplifies the artist's early exploration of figure drawing and the use of charcoal as a medium.
