Drie staande figuren, mogelijk vrouwen 1875 - 1934

"Drie staande figuren, mogelijk vrouwen" is a charcoal sketch on paper by Isaac Israels, a Dutch artist known for his intimate portraits and scenes of daily life. This quick study, created between 1875 and 1934, depicts three standing figures, possibly women, rendered in a simplified and gestural style. The artist's focus on capturing the essence of form and movement rather than detailed representation is characteristic of his later works. The sketch, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Israels' artistic process and his exploration of the human figure.
