Abklatsch van de krijttekening op blad 17 recto 1875 - 1934

"Abklatsch van de krijttekening op blad 17 recto" is a faint charcoal sketch by Isaac Israels, housed in the Rijksmuseum. This impressionistic work, likely created between 1875 and 1934, depicts a shadowy human figure. The hazy, almost ghostly form suggests the artist's focus on capturing the essence of the subject rather than precise details. The subtle grays and the faint outline create a sense of mystery and depth. This piece exemplifies Israels' exploration of capturing the fleeting moments of human existence.
