Studie 1875 - 1934

"Studie" is a pencil drawing by Dutch painter Isaac Israels, housed in the Rijksmuseum. This study, dating from between 1875 and 1934, demonstrates the artist's early exploration of form and composition through quick, gestural lines. The sketch, likely a preliminary study for a larger work, showcases Israels' focus on capturing the essence of his subject, even in its unfinished state. The minimal detail and free-flowing lines of the sketch, characteristic of studies, offer insight into the artist's creative process.
