Staande vrouw 1875 - 1934

"Staande vrouw" (Standing Woman) is a charcoal sketch by Dutch painter Isaac Israels, created between 1875 and 1934. The sketch depicts a standing woman, rendered with loose, gestural lines, capturing a sense of movement and spontaneity. The work is characteristic of Israels' early style, often featuring simplified forms and expressive brushstrokes. The sketch, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies Israels' exploration of figure drawing and his focus on capturing the essence of his subjects.
