Staande man met hoed 1875 - 1934

"Staande man met hoed" is a simple yet expressive sketch by Isaac Israels, housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork, created between 1875 and 1934, captures the essence of a standing man with a hat, likely a quick study of a figure in the artist's surroundings. The loose lines and minimal detail suggest a focus on capturing the pose and gesture rather than a realistic depiction. This drawing exemplifies Israels' ability to distill form and movement in a few strokes, showcasing his artistic skill and the power of suggestion in the art of drawing.
