Studie c. 1886 - 1903

"Studie" is a sketch on paper by the Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1886 and 1903. This artwork, now held in the Rijksmuseum, is a glimpse into Breitner's creative process, revealing his use of pencil to capture fleeting moments and ideas. The sketch features a few lines and a simple depiction of a figure, possibly a quick study for a larger work. This informal, almost spontaneous, approach characterizes Breitner's artistic style, known for its emphasis on capturing the essence of everyday life.
