Abklatsch van de penseeltekening op blad 22 recto 1875 - 1934

This faint, almost ghost-like drawing, "Abklatsch van de penseeltekening op blad 22 recto," is a study by Dutch artist Isaac Israels. Created between 1875 and 1934, it exemplifies the artist's exploration of line and form, likely a preparatory sketch for a larger work. The minimal detail and the subtle use of light and shadow create a sense of mystery and intimacy, typical of Israels' style, which often focused on everyday life and its emotional nuances. This drawing, held in the Rijksmuseum, is a rare glimpse into the creative process of a renowned artist.
