This quick sketch of a standing female nude, drawn in pencil on paper, is a study by Dutch painter Isaac Israels. Created sometime between 1875 and 1934, the drawing is a loose and gestural depiction of the human form, showcasing Israels’ artistic approach to capturing the essence of a pose. The work is now part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum.
