Zittende figuren 1921 - 1922

"Zittende figuren" (1921-1922) is a quick sketch by Dutch painter Isaac Israels, known for his Impressionistic style. The artwork features a single figure, likely a woman, sitting in a chair. Israels' use of minimal detail and loose brushstrokes in this drawing capture a sense of movement and spontaneity, revealing his remarkable ability to convey form and volume in a few lines. This study demonstrates Israels' approach to capturing the human figure in dynamic poses, as seen in his celebrated paintings. This preliminary sketch, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides insight into Israels' creative process, offering a glimpse into his artistic development.
