Zittende man 1875 - 1934

"Zittende man" (Sitting Man) is a quick sketch by Isaac Israels, created sometime between 1875 and 1934. The drawing, held in the Rijksmuseum, captures a seated figure in loose, gestural lines, suggesting a moment of contemplation or casual observation. Israels, known for his expressive depictions of everyday life, employed a minimalist style in this work, focusing on the essence of the figure rather than detailed realism. The drawing offers a glimpse into the artist's practice and his keen eye for capturing human form in a fleeting moment.
