Straatgezicht met figuren c. 1886 - 1903

"Straatgezicht met figuren" is a charcoal drawing by Isaac Israels, a Dutch artist known for his depictions of everyday life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This particular artwork is a sketch of a street scene, likely in Amsterdam, featuring figures in the foreground and a building in the background. The drawing is characterized by loose, gestural lines and a sense of immediacy, capturing the fleeting moments of urban life. The quick strokes and use of charcoal contribute to the sketch-like quality of the piece, a common feature of Israels' work. This drawing, created between 1886 and 1903, is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
