Isabel Bishop Early Sketchbook c. 1928 - 1936

This page from Isabel Bishop's sketchbook, created between 1928 and 1936, showcases the artist's signature style of capturing the energy and dynamism of everyday life. Bishop, known for her urban scenes and figure drawings, uses quick, expressive lines to sketch a variety of individuals in various poses, likely observed from her New York City surroundings. The figures, rendered with a sense of informality and movement, suggest the artist's keen eye for detail and her ability to capture the essence of her subjects with minimal strokes.
