Staand meisje op klompen c. 1892 - 1900

"Staand meisje op klompen" (Standing Girl in Clogs) is a charcoal drawing by Isaac Israels, a prominent Dutch painter. Created around 1892-1900, this piece captures the essence of everyday life in a loose and expressive style. The artist's signature use of quick, gestural lines gives the girl a sense of movement and immediacy, as if caught in a snapshot of time. The drawing's subtle shading and tonal variations create a sense of depth and volume, highlighting the subject's simple yet expressive pose. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, this work exemplifies Israels' mastery of capturing human subjects with sensitivity and realism.
