Twee vrouwen c. 1915s - 1925s

"Twee vrouwen" (Two Women) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, dating from the 1910s to the 1920s. The artwork is a quick sketch, likely done in preparation for a larger painting. The viewer can identify two female figures, with their faces partially obscured, which adds a sense of intimacy and mystery. The expressive lines and shading used by Israels capture the essence of his subject and suggest their close connection. The sketch currently resides in the Rijksmuseum, showcasing Israels's talent for capturing the human form with immediacy and emotional depth.
