Vrouw 1875 - 1934

"Vrouw," a graphite sketch by Isaac Israels, is a dynamic study of a woman's profile. The artist, known for his evocative portrayal of figures, uses quick, expressive lines to capture the subject's posture and expression. The use of negative space emphasizes the woman's form, while the faint outline of two figures in the background hints at a narrative context. Though unfinished, the sketch demonstrates Israels's mastery of capturing a fleeting moment, a characteristic of his later works.
