Vrouwelijk naakt 1875 - 1934

"Vrouwelijk naakt" (Female Nude), a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Isaac Israels (1865-1934), is a study of the human form. The work, currently held in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Israels' focus on capturing the essence of his subject through loose, gestural lines. The drawing showcases the artist's mastery of anatomical form and the nuanced use of shading to create volume and depth. While a study, the work is more than a mere sketch, revealing Israels' sensitive approach to capturing the human figure.
