Man in uniform, op de rug gezien c. 1915s - 1925s

This quick sketch, created by Dutch artist Isaac Israels between 1915 and 1925, shows a man in uniform viewed from behind. The work is housed in the Rijksmuseum and exemplifies Israels's interest in capturing everyday moments. The loose, expressive lines suggest a sense of immediacy, perhaps a fleeting observation made in public. This quick and insightful sketch, a testament to Israels's mastery of the human form, showcases his talent for capturing the essence of a subject with minimal detail.
