Vrouw op een ezel 1875 - 1934

"Vrouw op een ezel" (Woman on a Donkey) is a sketch created by Isaac Israels between 1875 and 1934. The work is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and depicts a figure riding a donkey, captured in a gestural, loose style with quick strokes of graphite on paper. This preliminary sketch showcases Israels' unique ability to capture movement and form in a spontaneous and expressive way. The work provides a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his exploration of themes of everyday life in the Dutch countryside.
