Staande mannen en vrouwen 1875 - 1934

"Staande mannen en vrouwen" (Standing Men and Women) is a quick sketch by Isaac Israels, created between 1875 and 1934. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a group of figures, likely individuals observed in a public setting. The gestural lines and loose composition capture the fleeting moment with a sense of immediacy, typical of Israels's style, while the figures' clothing and hats hint at the era. This informal sketch offers a glimpse into the artist's process and his keen observation of everyday life.
