Portret van Pieter Rink before 1931

This sketch, created before 1931, is a portrait of Pieter Rink by the Dutch artist Isaac Israels. The drawing, composed of loose, gestural lines in pencil, depicts Rink's head and shoulders, with his head tilted upwards and hands clasped in front of him. This is a typical example of the expressive and dynamic style often found in Israels’s works. The drawing's loose, expressive lines convey a sense of immediacy and informality, reflecting the artist's quick and insightful observation of his subject. The work is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
