Portret van een onbekende vrouw c. 1915s - 1925s

"Portret van een onbekende vrouw" is a pencil drawing by Isaac Israels, created sometime between the 1910s and 1920s. The artwork depicts the head and shoulders of an unknown woman, rendered in a loose, gestural style characteristic of Israels' work. The artist captures the subject's gaze and features with rapid, expressive lines, conveying a sense of spontaneity and immediacy. This drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fascinating example of Israels' exploration of portraiture and his ability to convey emotion through swift and fluid strokes.
