Studieblad, onder andere met een gezicht 1880 - 1882

This charcoal study by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1880 and 1882, showcases the artist's exploration of form and composition. The sketch, which can be viewed at the Rijksmuseum, features a series of loose, gestural lines that capture the essence of a face and other unidentified forms. The immediacy and informality of the work reveal Breitner's artistic process and his interest in capturing fleeting moments in everyday life. The study demonstrates Breitner's skill in using charcoal to create a sense of depth and volume. This work, while a study, represents a unique glimpse into Breitner's creative practice and showcases his artistic sensibility.
