Abklatsch van de krijttekening op pagina 24 1875 - 1934

This faint charcoal sketch, titled "Abklatsch van de krijttekening op pagina 24" by Isaac Israels, is a preliminary study for a larger work. Dating from 1875-1934, this piece exemplifies Israels' mastery of light and shadow, hinting at the final composition. The minimalist lines suggest a scene of domestic life, possibly a portrait or a genre scene, typical of Israels' work. This study, now in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his interest in capturing everyday moments.
