Zelfportret van Isaac Israels met hoed 1875 - 1934

This is a self-portrait by Isaac Israels, a Dutch artist known for his depiction of everyday life. This charcoal sketch, created between 1875 and 1934, showcases Israels' expressive style. The artist is captured in profile, wearing a hat and seeming to hold a pipe. The rapid lines and hazy background give the work a sense of spontaneity and a snapshot of the artist in a moment of contemplation. It is a powerful example of the artist's skill and the way he captured the essence of his subjects through quick and gestural lines. This sketch is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, a renowned Dutch museum known for its collection of art and artifacts.
