Staande man, in profiel 1875 - 1934

This pencil sketch, created between 1875 and 1934, is the work of Dutch painter Isaac Israels (1865-1934). Titled "Staande man, in profiel", it depicts a figure in profile, likely a man, with a focus on the dynamic lines and shadows of the body, characteristic of Israels' style. The gestural strokes suggest a rapid and spontaneous study, showcasing the artist's quick observation of form and composition. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable glimpse into Israels' creative process and his artistic development.
