Man met een voorwerp in zijn hand, mogelijk op een bouwterrein 1887 - 1891

This quick sketch by George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1887 and 1891, is a study of a figure holding an object in his hand, possibly on a construction site. The gestural lines and loose composition are characteristic of Breitner's style, capturing a fleeting moment in time. The figure and his surroundings are only partially rendered, suggesting the artist's focus on capturing movement and energy. This piece is part of a series of studies by Breitner, who is known for his depictions of modern life in Amsterdam.
