Mannenhoofd en een vrouw, ten halven lijve c. 1915s - 1925s

"Mannenhoofd en een vrouw, ten halven lijve" is a quick sketch created by Dutch painter Isaac Israels during the 1910s or 1920s. This piece, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a study in gesture and form. The drawing features a man's head, depicted in detail and with a powerful sense of presence, and a woman's face, loosely sketched and appearing in profile. This work exemplifies Israels's signature style, characterized by loose, expressive lines that capture the essence of his subjects.
