Studie, mogelijk van een dier c. 1883 - 1885

This is a study by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dated c. 1883-1885, now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum. It is a quick pencil sketch on paper, possibly depicting an animal. The artist was known for his sketches and paintings of everyday life in Amsterdam. Breitner captured the movement and energy of the city, often using bold lines and expressive brushstrokes. This sketch, while lacking a clear subject, demonstrates Breitner's characteristic style and his ability to capture fleeting moments.
