Staande en hurkende vrouw met hoed 1921 - 1922

"Staande en hurkende vrouw met hoed" is a sketch by Isaac Israels, a prominent Dutch painter, created between 1921 and 1922. This loose, expressive drawing, housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcases Israels' interest in capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life. The fragmented lines and gestural strokes suggest a rapid observation, possibly a study for a larger work. The title suggests the subject is two women, one standing and one crouching, perhaps wearing a hat, but the abstract nature of the sketch leaves much to the viewer's interpretation.
