Seated Female Nude 1875 - 1934

"Seated Female Nude" is a striking ink drawing by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, created sometime between 1875 and 1934. The work features a bold and expressive depiction of a nude female figure, rendered in a dynamic and gestural style. The artist's use of bold lines and expressive contours highlights the figure's form and movement, creating a sense of energy and immediacy. This drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Israels' mastery of figurative art and his penchant for capturing the essence of his subjects through swift and confident brushstrokes.
