Figuurstudies 1875 - 1934

"Figuurstudies" is a series of figure studies by Dutch painter Isaac Israels, housed in the Rijksmuseum. The charcoal drawings, dating back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, showcase Israels's unique approach to capturing the human form. The loose lines and gestural strokes highlight the artist's focus on movement and expression. These sketches, while not complete works, provide valuable insights into Israels's creative process and the development of his artistic style, which heavily influenced the Hague School movement.
