Staande figuur en een tubaspeler 1875 - 1934

"Staande figuur en een tubaspeler" is a charcoal sketch by Isaac Israels, dating from between 1875 and 1934. The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a standing figure and a tuba player, both rendered in loose, expressive lines. The artist's focus is on capturing the energy and movement of the subjects, rather than meticulous detail. This sketch is a testament to Israels's mastery of line and his ability to convey a sense of spontaneity and immediacy. The drawing is characteristic of Israels's later works, which often explore themes of everyday life and the human figure.
