Interieur en een staand paar 1875 - 1934

"Interieur en een staand paar" (Interior with a Standing Couple) is a charcoal drawing by Dutch painter Isaac Israels, created between 1875 and 1934. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artist's exploration of figure and interior space. The sketchy lines and preliminary nature of the drawing provide insight into Israels' creative process. The left side depicts a detailed sketch of an interior space, possibly a room, while the right features a loose outline of a standing couple, capturing a moment of intimacy within the home. This drawing exemplifies Israels' interest in the human figure within domestic settings, a recurring theme in his later works.
