Twee vrouwen, mogelijk dienstmeiden c. 1886 - 1934

"Twee vrouwen, mogelijk dienstmeiden" is a charcoal drawing by Isaac Israels, a Dutch artist known for his portrayals of everyday life. Created between 1886 and 1934, the work depicts two women, likely maids, in a simple, gestural style. The quick, expressive lines and the use of charcoal create a sense of immediacy and intimacy, capturing a fleeting moment in the lives of these working-class women. The drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, providing a glimpse into the social realities of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
