Vrouw, in profiel 1875 - 1934

"Vrouw, in profiel" (Woman, in profile) is a watercolor sketch by Isaac Israels, a Dutch painter known for his portraits and genre scenes. Created sometime between 1875 and 1934, the work is a study in minimal form, utilizing washes of brown and ochre to capture the essence of a woman’s profile. The blurred lines and abstract shapes highlight the artist's interest in capturing fleeting moments and creating expressive works. This sketch exemplifies Israels' approach to capturing the essence of his subjects through quick studies, showcasing the artist's mastery of the medium. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
