Abklatsch van de krijttekening op pagina 5 1886 - 1903

This charcoal drawing, "Abklatsch van de krijttekening op pagina 5," created by Dutch painter Isaac Israels between 1886 and 1903, is an intriguing example of an artist's working process. The faint and fragmented nature of the charcoal drawing, likely a trace or rubbing from another drawing, suggests a study for a larger work. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Israels's creative exploration and demonstrates the artist's dedication to capturing fleeting moments and subtle nuances.
