Studie, mogelijk van een wijdbeens staande man 1881 - 1883

This pencil sketch, titled "Studie, mogelijk van een wijdbeens staande man" (Study, possibly of a man standing with legs spread) by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, was created between 1881 and 1883. It is housed in the Rijksmuseum. The sketch depicts a figure in a quick, gestural style, highlighting Breitner's interest in capturing movement and form. This is characteristic of his work, which often depicted life in Amsterdam in the late 19th century. The unfinished nature of the piece suggests a study for a larger work, showcasing the artist's process of observation and exploration.
