Vrouw 1875 - 1934

"Vrouw," a charcoal sketch by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, is a striking example of his expressive style. The work, created between 1875 and 1934, depicts a woman in a seated pose. The loose, gestural lines and fragmented forms convey a sense of movement and energy. The piece is characterized by its immediacy and spontaneity, highlighting Israels's ability to capture the essence of his subject through quick and decisive strokes. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering viewers a glimpse into the artistic process of one of the Netherlands' most celebrated artists.
