Staande vrouw, over een tafel gebogen 1875 - 1934

"Staande vrouw, over een tafel gebogen" is a quick sketch of a woman bending over a table by Dutch artist Isaac Israels. The drawing, done in pencil, is a study for a larger work, likely a painting, and captures the fleeting movements of the subject in a minimal, gestural manner. The work exemplifies Israels' practice of using sketches to explore composition and movement before committing to more finished works. This drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers insight into Israels' artistic process, particularly his approach to capturing the human figure.
