Variétéatieste met hoofdtooi c. 1930 - 1934

"Variétéatieste met hoofdtooi" is a charcoal sketch created by Isaac Israels between 1930 and 1934, and currently held by the Rijksmuseum. The sketch depicts a seated figure, likely a woman, wearing a headpiece, with the figure facing the viewer. Israels's expressive line work and use of shading create a sense of movement and energy. The sketch is a prime example of Israels's unique style, which often captured the spontaneous and dynamic nature of his subjects. This work provides a glimpse into the artistic process of the Dutch artist, showing his exploration of form and composition.
