Twee staande vrouwen c. 1886 - 1934

"Twee staande vrouwen" is a charcoal drawing by Isaac Israels, a prominent Dutch artist, dated c. 1886-1934. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a quick sketch depicting two women in a standing pose. The loose, gestural lines and the focus on capturing movement suggest a spontaneous observation rather than a formal portrait. This sketch exemplifies Israels' ability to convey dynamism and energy through his expressive line work. The drawing provides a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his keen observation of human figures.
