Vrouwenhoofd 1875 - 1934

"Vrouwenhoofd" (Woman's Head), a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, is a striking example of his expressive style. Created between 1875 and 1934, the work captures the essence of a woman's face in a few bold strokes, showcasing Israels' mastery of line and form. The rapid, gestural lines used to define the subject's features suggest a sense of immediacy and movement, giving the drawing a dynamic energy. This piece is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offering a glimpse into Israels' artistic process.
