Man 1875 - 1934

"Man" is a pencil sketch by Dutch painter Isaac Israels, created between 1875 and 1934. The drawing, held at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a man in a seated pose, captured in a minimalistic style. The simplicity of the lines and the focus on the figure's posture highlight Israels' ability to convey character and emotion through concise strokes, typical of his quick sketches. This drawing, a study of the human form, reveals Israels' artistic process and his dedication to capturing the essence of his subjects.
