Man en vrouw tegenover elkaar c. 1915s - 1925s

This pencil sketch, "Man en vrouw tegenover elkaar," by Isaac Israels, exemplifies the artist's signature expressive style. Created sometime between the 1910s and 1920s, the piece showcases a dynamic composition with a focus on the human form. The loose lines and gestural strokes capture the essence of the figures as they face each other, suggesting an intimate moment between a man and woman. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Israels' artistic process and his exploration of human relationships.
