"Zaal met publiek" is a charcoal drawing on paper by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, dated between 1886 and 1903. The piece, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a sketch of a concert hall with an audience listening to a performance. The drawing is characterized by its gestural lines and loose composition, capturing the energy and excitement of a live performance. This artwork provides a glimpse into Israels' artistic practice and his interest in portraying the everyday life of people in his time.
