"Standing Female Nude" is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Isaac Israels. Created sometime between the 1910s and 1920s, the work showcases Israels' signature style of gestural lines and washes of gray, giving the piece a sense of immediacy. The figure, depicted in a relaxed pose, embodies the artist's exploration of the human form. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this drawing is a valuable example of Israels' artistic practice.
