"Zittende figuur" is a quick sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, dating from between 1884 and 1886. This preliminary drawing shows a figure in a seated pose, captured with loose, gestural lines and minimal detail. The sketch, created using graphite on paper, is a testament to Breitner’s skill in capturing movement and form with swift, expressive strokes. This piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, providing a glimpse into Breitner's artistic process.
