Figuurstudies 1875 - 1934

"Figuurstudies" is a study in charcoal by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, created between 1875 and 1934. The simple composition showcases a minimalist and gestural style, emphasizing the act of drawing rather than fully rendered figures. This sketch, likely a preparatory study for a larger work, highlights Israels' exploration of form and movement, typical of his artistic approach to figure drawing. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering viewers a glimpse into Israels' creative process.
