Schetsen van een mannenhoofd 1867 - 1923

"Schetsen van een mannenhoofd" (Sketches of a Man's Head) is a pencil drawing by George Hendrik Breitner, a Dutch painter known for his urban scenes and portraits. This small-scale work, measuring 196 mm by 116 mm, depicts a man's head in profile, with multiple sketches exploring different angles and expressions. The loose and gestural lines suggest a quick study, capturing the essence of the subject rather than precise detail. This drawing, dated between 1867 and 1923, highlights Breitner's talent for capturing the human form through rapid and expressive strokes. It can be viewed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
