Straatgezicht met figuren 1875 - 1934

"Straatgezicht met figuren" (Street Scene with Figures), a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, captures the essence of a bustling street. Created between 1875 and 1934, the drawing showcases Israels' talent for capturing everyday life with quick, expressive strokes. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Israels' interest in depicting the dynamism of urban life and the human figures that populate it. The composition, characterized by bold lines and shadow play, evokes a sense of movement and activity.
