Portret van een vrouw in ovaal, mogelijk Marie Jordan 1886 - 1923

This pencil drawing by George Hendrik Breitner, titled "Portret van een vrouw in ovaal, mogelijk Marie Jordan," is a delicate and intimate portrait of a woman. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner. Created between 1886 and 1923, this artwork is a glimpse into Breitner's sketching style and his interest in capturing the likeness of individuals. The drawing's loose lines and suggestive details evoke a sense of spontaneity and informality, suggesting a quick study of the subject. The composition within an oval frame further emphasizes the focus on the woman's face and adds a formal element to the piece.
