Twee staande vrouwen c. 1915s - 1925s

"Twee staande vrouwen" (Two Standing Women) is a pencil sketch by Isaac Israels, a prominent Dutch painter, dating back to the 1910s-1920s. This quick sketch, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, captures the essence of two figures in a minimalist style, showcasing Israels' mastery of line and form. The artist's signature loose and expressive strokes create a dynamic sense of movement, highlighting the fleeting moments of everyday life. This piece exemplifies Israels' talent for capturing human figures in their natural settings, a style that became characteristic of his later works.
