Abklatsch van de krijttekening op blad 5 recto 1875 - 1934

This delicate charcoal sketch, likely a study for a larger work, is a prime example of Dutch artist Isaac Israels’ skill in capturing fleeting moments. Created between 1875 and 1934, the drawing hints at a scene of domesticity, possibly featuring a figure draped in fabric. The loose strokes and subtle shading create a sense of intimacy, inviting viewers to imagine the story behind the scene. The work is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum and serves as a testament to Israels’ talent for capturing everyday life with sensitivity and nuance.
