Reclining Female Nude 1875 - 1934

"Reclining Female Nude" is a pencil drawing created by Isaac Israels between 1875 and 1934. This quick sketch, likely made during a life drawing session, captures the essence of a female figure in a relaxed, reclining pose. The minimal detail and loose lines in the sketch suggest a focus on capturing the gesture and form of the body, a common practice in academic art training. The drawing is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
