Zittende figuren, mogelijk Afrikanen 1875 - 1934

"Zittende figuren, mogelijk Afrikanen" is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, housed at the Rijksmuseum. The piece, created between 1875 and 1934, depicts two figures in a seated pose. The artist's quick, gestural lines give the sketch a sense of immediacy and informality, characteristic of his artistic approach. While the identity of the subjects remains uncertain, their features, rendered with sensitivity and detail, suggest they may be of African descent. This sketch serves as a testament to Israels' interest in the diverse human figure and his skill in capturing the essence of his subjects through quick and insightful observations.
