This chalk drawing, "Abklatsch van de krijttekening op pagina 9," is a study by Isaac Israels, a Dutch artist known for his portraits and genre scenes. The drawing is a trace, or “Abklatsch”, made by pressing the original chalk drawing onto another sheet of paper. This method of reproduction allowed artists to experiment with different compositions and explore variations of their original work. It is housed at the Rijksmuseum, a renowned art museum in Amsterdam.
