Drie studies van een meisje, staand en zittend 1834 - 1911

This pencil sketch, *Drie studies van een meisje, staand en zittend* (Three studies of a girl, standing and sitting), was created by Dutch Realist painter Jozef Israëls between 1834 and 1911. The artwork depicts three different poses of a young girl, with a focus on capturing her natural movements and youthful charm. The sketch's loose and expressive lines, characteristic of Israëls' style, convey a sense of spontaneity and informality, suggesting a quick study made from life. Currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, this work offers a glimpse into the artist's process of observation and composition.
