Drinkende vrouw, in profiel 1875 - 1934

"Drinkende vrouw, in profiel" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, dated 1875-1934, and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The sketch depicts a woman in profile, possibly drinking from a glass. The loose and gestural lines of the drawing, characteristic of Israels' style, capture a sense of spontaneity and immediacy, suggesting a quick study rather than a finished work. The subject matter, the casual depiction of everyday life, is typical of Israels' artistic focus, which often centered on people and their interactions.
