Dierstudie 1881 - 1883

"Dierstudie" (Animal Study) is a pencil drawing created by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner between 1881 and 1883. The artwork currently resides in the Rijksmuseum. Although the subject is unclear, it is likely a study for a larger piece. Breitner was known for his realistic and detailed drawings of everyday life in Amsterdam, often focusing on people and animals. This study, with its loose and gestural lines, hints at the artist's keen observation and ability to capture movement and form with great economy.
