Jonge vrouw op een ezel c. 1890 - 1920

This charcoal drawing, "Jonge vrouw op een ezel," was created by Isaac Israels sometime between 1890 and 1920. The drawing depicts a young woman riding a donkey, captured in a dynamic, almost chaotic pose. The quick, gestural lines of the drawing suggest a fleeting moment in time, with the artist focusing on capturing the movement and energy of the scene rather than precise details. The piece is housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his unique style. This charcoal drawing exemplifies Israels' masterful use of line and his ability to convey motion and emotion in a minimalist form.
