Staande vrouw, op de rug gezien c. 1919

"Staande vrouw, op de rug gezien" is a c. 1919 pencil sketch by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The sketch depicts a woman's figure seen from behind, rendered in loose, gestural lines that capture a sense of movement and immediacy. This quick study exemplifies Israels' interest in capturing fleeting moments and exploring the human figure in dynamic poses. The work showcases the artist's ability to convey form and expression through simplified lines, characteristic of his later works.
