Vier studies van vrouwen, zittend en lezend 1834 - 1911

"Vier studies van vrouwen, zittend en lezend" is a pen and ink drawing by Dutch artist Jozef Israëls, created between 1834 and 1911. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts four sketches of women in various seated and reclining poses, capturing a sense of quiet contemplation. Israëls, known for his realist style, focused on portraying everyday life and the human condition, often depicting scenes of domesticity and introspection. The delicate lines and subtle shading of the drawing create a sense of intimacy and realism, characteristic of Israëls' work.
