Figuurstudies c. 1915s - 1925s

This quick sketch, titled "Figuurstudies" (figure studies) was created by Dutch painter Isaac Israels between the 1910s and 1920s. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The piece shows the artist's swift, gestural lines, used to capture the essence of human forms. It is a study in the human figure that highlights the dynamism and energy of Israels' artistic approach. While not a finished piece, the drawing showcases the artist's process and the power of simplified linework in expressing movement and anatomy.
