Twee rijen toeschouwers c. 1915s - 1925s

"Twee rijen toeschouwers" is a pencil sketch created by Isaac Israels, a Dutch painter known for his depictions of everyday life. Dated to the 1910s or 1920s, this work is housed at the Rijksmuseum. The sketch captures a scene of people, likely spectators at a theatrical performance, drawn in a quick and expressive style. The loose lines and minimal detail suggest a quick, informal study, possibly a preparatory sketch for a larger work. This piece offers a glimpse into Israels' artistic process and his ability to capture movement and atmosphere through simple lines.
