Twee vrouwenhoofden 1875 - 1934

"Twee vrouwenhoofden" is a quick ink sketch by Dutch painter Isaac Israels, part of a larger sketchbook he kept from 1875 to 1934. This dynamic drawing captures two female heads, likely women he observed in his daily life, in expressive, loose strokes. This work showcases Israels' quick draftsmanship and his ability to capture the essence of a subject with a few lines. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, gives us insight into Israels’ artistic process and his interest in depicting everyday people.
