Portret van Nehemia de Lieme c. 1925s

This pencil sketch by Dutch artist Isaac Israels is a portrait of Nehemia de Lieme, likely dating back to the 1920s. Israels, known for his portraits and depictions of daily life, captures de Lieme in a casual, almost sketch-like style. The loose lines emphasize the subject’s features and the overall composition. The artwork, now located at the Rijksmuseum, showcases Israels' ability to convey personality and presence through swift and expressive strokes, characteristic of his artistic style.
