Vrouw met een meisje op een balkon in Parijs 1887 - 1934

This charcoal drawing, titled "Vrouw met een meisje op een balkon in Parijs" (Woman with a Girl on a Balcony in Paris), is a quick sketch by Dutch artist Isaac Israels. Created between 1887 and 1934, the artwork captures a fleeting moment of two figures, likely a mother and daughter, on a Parisian balcony, emphasizing their connection and the scene's casual nature. The gestural lines and dynamic composition characteristic of Israels' work are evident in this drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The charcoal strokes, creating a sense of spontaneity and immediacy, highlight the artist's keen observation of daily life and the beauty of the human form.
