"Ruiter" is a quick sketch by Isaac Israels, dating from 1875-1934, housed in the Rijksmuseum. This simple yet powerful drawing, depicting a rider on horseback, showcases Israels's talent for capturing movement and form in a minimal style. The work is a testament to the artist's creative process, offering a glimpse into his private artistic exploration.
