Zittend vrouwelijk naakt met opgetrokken been 1875 - 1934

This drawing, titled "Zittend vrouwelijk naakt met opgetrokken been," is a study by Dutch painter Isaac Israels. It was created in a rapid, gestural style, showcasing the artist's masterful ability to capture form with minimal detail. This is characteristic of his later work, moving from detailed realism to a more expressive approach, reminiscent of the Impressionist movement. Though just a sketch, it reveals the artist's keen observation of the human form, the figure's pose and anatomy rendered with delicate, fluid lines. This work, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a poignant reminder of the artist's evolving style and artistic journey.
