Staande mannen, op de rug gezien 1875 - 1934

"Staande mannen, op de rug gezien" is a series of sketches by Isaac Israels. The work, created between 1875 and 1934, depicts figures from the back in a gestural, expressive style, likely a study for a larger composition. The quick, loose lines and charcoal application suggest a dynamic, almost spontaneous approach, characteristic of Israels' artistic style. The work is currently held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, offering a glimpse into the artist's working process.
