Figuren op straat 1875 - 1934

"Figuren op straat" (Figures on the Street) is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Isaac Israels (1865-1934) housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts a street scene with figures walking and interacting in a casual manner, captured in a quick, gestural style that is characteristic of Israels' work. This drawing exemplifies his focus on daily life and ordinary people, capturing a fleeting moment in time with an immediacy that evokes a sense of spontaneity.
