This preliminary sketch by Isaac Israels, likely depicting a staircase, showcases his expressive use of line. Created sometime between 1875 and 1934, the drawing captures the essence of the subject with minimal detail, utilizing a loose and gestural style. The artist's signature use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and volume, revealing the staircase's form through a series of quick, expressive strokes.
