Seated Female Nude 1890 - 1920

"Seated Female Nude" is a charcoal sketch by Isaac Israels, a Dutch artist known for his portraits and figure studies. Created between 1890 and 1920, the work showcases Israels' quick and expressive style, capturing the essence of the female form through loose, gestural lines. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the study of the human figure, a common theme in art history. The minimal detail and focus on form highlight the artist's keen observation of human anatomy and movement, making it a valuable example of academic drawing.
