Dienstmeid op straat c. 1886 - 1934

"Dienstmeid op straat" is a pencil sketch by Isaac Israels, a Dutch painter known for his depictions of everyday life. The sketch, dated between 1886 and 1934, captures a moment in time with its quick lines and focus on the figure's pose and expression. The subject, likely a maid, is seen from the back, her head tilted as if in thought. The use of strong lines and the artist's signature style contribute to the dynamism of the composition. This piece exemplifies Israels' interest in capturing the essence of human experience through informal and fleeting moments. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcasing the artist's talent for portraying everyday life with a keen sense of observation.
