Schetsboek LII met 43 bladen 1875 - 1934

This is a sketchbook by Dutch painter Isaac Israels, created between 1875 and 1934. It contains 43 sheets, and although it doesn't contain any artwork on display, the cover alone reveals its artistic history. The blue cover has remnants of paint stains, a testament to Israels' creative process and the use of the book for sketching and experimenting. The inscription "LII" on the cover indicates its place in a collection of sketchbooks, highlighting the importance of documentation in Israels' artistic practice. This sketchbook is a fascinating glimpse into the working life of one of the most significant Dutch painters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
