Dienstmeid, in profiel c. 1886 - 1934

"Dienstmeid, in profiel" (Maid, in Profile) is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Isaac Israels created between 1886 and 1934, now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts a maid, her body in profile, in an expressive, sketched style, a style that characterizes Israels' work. The artist's quick, flowing lines capture the movement and energy of the subject, suggesting the maid in a moment of repose. The drawing showcases Israels' mastery of line and his talent for capturing the essence of his subjects.
