Liggend vrouwelijk naakt, op de rug gezien 1875 - 1934

"Liggend vrouwelijk naakt, op de rug gezien" is a charcoal drawing by Isaac Israels, a prominent Dutch painter, dating back to between 1875 and 1934. This sketch, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Israels's skill in capturing the human form with expressive strokes and subtle shading. The drawing, likely a preparatory study for a larger work, reveals the artist's attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of the figure's hand and arm. The piece embodies the aesthetic of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, highlighting a shift towards a more naturalistic approach to depicting the human body.
