Man met pet c. 1886 - 1934

"Man met pet" is a charcoal sketch by Dutch painter Isaac Israels, created sometime between 1886 and 1934. It depicts a man wearing a cap and a coat, holding a cane and standing beside a table. The loose and gestural lines are characteristic of Israels' style, revealing his interest in capturing fleeting moments of everyday life. This sketch, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Israels' ability to convey character and emotion through simple, expressive strokes.
