Zelfportret van Isaac Israels c. 1915s - 1925s

This self-portrait by Isaac Israels, a renowned Dutch painter, is a simple yet powerful piece. Created sometime between the 1910s and 1920s, it features a minimalist pencil sketch of the artist's face. The loose lines capture the essence of Israels's features, particularly his prominent eye, suggesting a sense of introspection and vulnerability. The drawing's sparse nature and placement on the page evoke a sense of intimacy and honesty, typical of the artist's later works. This artwork is a poignant example of Israels's artistic evolution, showcasing a shift towards a more expressive and personal style.
