Kop van een dier 1893 - 1894

"Kop van een dier" (Head of an Animal) is a graphite sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1893 and 1894. This quick sketch, likely a study for a larger work, showcases Breitner's distinct style and attention to detail. The fragmented composition, composed of two partially drawn animal heads, suggests the artist's interest in capturing the essence of form and movement. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this piece offers a glimpse into Breitner's artistic process, highlighting his exploration of animal anatomy and his mastery of the graphite medium.
