Staande vrouw in kostuum, mogelijk een variétédanseres 1875 - 1934

This pencil sketch, titled "Staande vrouw in kostuum, mogelijk een variétédanseres," depicts a standing woman in a costume, possibly a variety dancer. Created between 1875 and 1934 by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, the work is characterized by quick, gestural lines that capture the movement and energy of the figure. The artist's use of hatching and cross-hatching to define form and volume adds depth to the image, while the dark background emphasizes the figure's silhouette. The work is housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering insight into Israels's artistic practice and his interest in the visual culture of his time.
