Vrouwenhoofden 1875 - 1934

"Vrouwenhoofden" (Women's Heads) is a preliminary sketch by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, dating from between 1875 and 1934. It's a quick and gestural study, executed in graphite on paper, likely done in preparation for a larger painting. This sketch displays the artist's focus on capturing the essence of form and movement, with a hint of emotion in the swift and sketchy lines that suggest the contours of female figures. This piece is part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offering insight into Israels' artistic process and his characteristic style.
