Studieblad 1880 - 1882

"Studieblad" is a study sheet made by George Hendrik Breitner, a Dutch artist renowned for his realism and impressionistic style. Created between 1880-1882, this piece is a study of a woman in a seated pose, likely intended as a preparatory sketch for a larger work. The quick, expressive lines and unrefined details reveal Breitner's process of capturing a moment in time and translating it onto paper, which became a signature element of his art. This sketch can be found in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrating the museum's extensive collection of Dutch art.
