Provenance: Private collection, the Netherlands. Note: On the reverse a study of a woman's head. Isaac Israels was known to be an admirer of exotic cultures and the elegance of their dancers. He instantly fell in love with Javanese culture, whilst looking at an Indonesian dance performance on an exhibition for women in The Hague. The depicted Ashanti drummers in this work are probably the Groote Ashanteese karavanen, who also visited the Netherlands and used to perform in Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam around 1900. Dancers and musicians soon became his favourite subjects to depict.
