Figuurstudies c. 1886 - 1934

"Figuurstudies" is a study of human figures created by Dutch artist Isaac Israels. It is an example of his use of charcoal, a medium commonly used for figure studies. This simple pencil sketch, dated between 1886 and 1934, highlights the artist's ability to capture the essence of the human form through loose and gestural lines. The quick strokes and minimal detail suggest a fleeting moment of observation, making it a valuable example of Israels' artistic process. The artwork is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
