Figuren in badkleding, op de rug gezien 1875 - 1934

"Figuren in badkleding, op de rug gezien" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, dating from sometime between 1875 and 1934. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts three figures from behind. The central figure, possibly a man, is most detailed, wearing a swimsuit while facing the viewer. The other two figures, likely women, are sketched more hastily and offer a glimpse of the artist's creative process. This sketch provides insight into Israels' style and his interest in capturing the human form in everyday settings.
