"Lopende vrouw, op de rug gezien" is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, dating from between 1886 and 1934. Currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, the sketch features a quick, gestural style, characteristic of Israels' practice. It depicts the back of a woman in motion, her flowing garment captured with expressive lines. This casual yet dynamic composition exemplifies Israels' interest in capturing fleeting moments and the human form. The sketch serves as a reminder of the artist's dedication to capturing the essence of everyday life through his artwork.
