Mannenhoofd, in profiel 1875 - 1934

"Mannenhoofd, in profiel" is a charcoal drawing by Isaac Israels, created between 1875 and 1934. This sketch is a study of a man's head in profile, with a focus on the contours and shading of the face. The drawing displays Israels' characteristic style, utilizing loose and gestural lines to capture the essence of his subject. While the drawing lacks detail, the expressive lines and simplified forms create a powerful and emotional depiction of a human figure. This sketch is a testament to Israels' profound understanding of form and light, and showcases his artistic process of exploring and capturing the human form through expressive lines. The artwork, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process and artistic development.
