Studies van een man in jacquet 1875 - 1934

"Studies van een man in jacquet" is a charcoal drawing on paper by Isaac Israels, a Dutch painter, created between 1875 and 1934. The artwork, currently located at the Rijksmuseum, features multiple quick sketches of a man wearing a jacket, captured in different poses and perspectives. The artist's expressive use of charcoal lines creates a sense of movement and dynamism, characteristic of his approach to figure drawing. This study, likely a preliminary sketch for a larger work, showcases Israels's interest in capturing the human form in a spontaneous and expressive manner.
