Vrouw 1887 - 1934

"Vrouw" (Woman) is a sketch by Isaac Israels, a prominent Dutch artist, and is part of the Rijksmuseum collection. Created between 1887 and 1934, the drawing depicts a woman's figure in a gestural, minimalist style. The rapid strokes and sketchy lines suggest a quick study of the model, capturing a fleeting moment of human form. Israels, known for his realism and portrayal of everyday life, captures the essence of the subject in a simple yet powerful way. The minimal lines create an atmosphere of intimacy and suggest the artist's deep understanding of form and composition.
