Man op een stoel c. 1915s - 1925s

"Man op een stoel" is a quick pencil sketch by Isaac Israels, a prominent Dutch painter known for his expressive style and dynamic brushstrokes. Created sometime between the 1910s and 1920s, the piece captures a seated figure in a casual pose, likely a study for a larger work. The rapid lines and gestural quality suggest the spontaneity of the moment, characteristic of Israels' artistic approach. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, the sketch offers insight into the artist's working process and his ability to translate complex forms through simple lines.
