Studie, mogelijk van een hurkende figuur 1893

"Studie, mogelijk van een hurkende figuur" is a study by George Hendrik Breitner, a Dutch painter known for his urban scenes and his depictions of everyday life. This 1893 drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Breitner's practice of sketching figures in his notebooks. The drawing's simple lines, capturing the movement of a possibly crouching figure, offer a glimpse into the artist's observational process and his ability to quickly capture the essence of his subjects.
