Standing Female Nude c. 1915s - 1925s

"Standing Female Nude" is a pencil sketch by Dutch painter Isaac Israels. Created in the 1910s or 1920s, the piece is a study of the human figure in a simplified, gestural style. The drawing, housed at the Rijksmuseum, shows the artist's interest in capturing the essence of the human form with loose, expressive lines, typical of his early style. The subject appears as a nude female figure in a standing pose, with a slightly tilted head and long, flowing lines outlining the figure. This quick and dynamic study exemplifies the artist's ability to capture the essence of the body through swift, fluid lines.
