Twee staande vrouwen c. 1892 - 1900

"Twee staande vrouwen" (c. 1892-1900) is a charcoal drawing by Isaac Israels, a Dutch artist known for his expressive style. This sketch, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, captures two women in a standing pose. The loose and gestural lines suggest a spontaneous and unfinished quality, typical of Israels's approach to capturing fleeting moments. The drawing's simplicity and focus on the figures' form highlight Israels's interest in capturing human movement and emotion in a direct and uncluttered manner.
