Standing Female Nude 1875 - 1934

"Standing Female Nude" is a quick sketch by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, created sometime between 1875 and 1934. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the artist's quick and fluid style, conveying the essence of the female form through a few simple lines. The sketch likely served as a study for a larger work, revealing Israels' process of capturing the human figure. Though a small and seemingly informal work, the "Standing Female Nude" offers a glimpse into the creative mind of a prominent artist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
