Staande jonge man 1875 - 1934

"Staande jonge man" is a pencil sketch by Isaac Israels, created between 1875 and 1934. The drawing features a young man lying on his back, his body drawn in loose, expressive lines. His relaxed posture suggests a moment of contemplation or repose. The simplicity of the composition and the artist's use of line create a sense of intimacy and vulnerability. This drawing is a prime example of Israels' mastery of the figure and his ability to capture fleeting moments of human experience. The drawing is currently located at the Rijksmuseum.
