Gebogen vrouwenbeen c. 1915s - 1925s

"Gebogen vrouwenbeen" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, dating back to the 1910s or 1920s. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcases a close-up study of a bent female leg rendered in a minimalist style. The sketch's focus on anatomical detail highlights Israels' interest in capturing the human form, characteristic of his artistic practice. While subtle, the composition evokes a sense of motion and invites viewers to contemplate the intricacies of human anatomy.
