Staande man in Beierse klederdracht 1875 - 1934

This charcoal drawing, “Staande man in Beierse klederdracht,” was created by Dutch artist Isaac Israels sometime between 1875 and 1934. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a man in traditional Bavarian clothing, standing upside down. The loose, gestural lines of the drawing capture a sense of movement and energy. This sketch, likely a preliminary study for a larger work, is a testament to Israels’ skill in capturing the essence of his subjects.
