Staande vrouw met hoed, in profiel 1887 - 1934

This quick sketch of a woman in profile, titled "Staande vrouw met hoed, in profiel", was created by Dutch artist Isaac Israels sometime between 1887 and 1934. The loose lines and minimal detail in the drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, suggest a spontaneous study, possibly made from life, that captures the essence of the subject's form. It is a glimpse into the artist's working process and his ability to capture fleeting moments through a simple yet evocative gesture.
