Twee studies van een soldaat, mogelijk een artillerist 1884 - 1886

"Twee studies van een soldaat, mogelijk een artillerist" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1884 and 1886. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, features two studies of a soldier, possibly an artilleryman, captured in loose, gestural lines. Breitner was known for his depictions of everyday life in Amsterdam, often focusing on the city’s working class and military personnel. This sketch exemplifies his quick, expressive style, capturing the essence of a soldier's form through a few carefully placed strokes.
