Twee vrouwen, in profiel 1875 - 1934

"Twee vrouwen, in profiel" (Two women, in profile) is a quick sketch by Isaac Israels, a Dutch painter known for his depictions of everyday life. This pencil drawing, created sometime between 1875 and 1934, showcases Israels's ability to capture the essence of his subjects with minimal detail. The two figures are drawn in profile, their bodies rendered in loose, gestural lines. While the sketch is seemingly unfinished, it provides a glimpse into the artist's process and reveals his interest in capturing the fleeting moments of human interaction. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
