Reclining Female Nude 1875 - 1934

"Reclining Female Nude" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, dating from between 1875 and 1934. The artwork is a quick, gestural study of a nude female figure, captured in a reclining pose. The lines are loose and expressive, suggesting the artist’s rapid observation of the model. This sketch, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into Israels' artistic process, showcasing his ability to capture form and movement with minimal detail.
