Figuurstudies 1881 - 1883

This is a study of figures, "Figuurstudies," created by the Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner between 1881 and 1883. This sketch, located in the Rijksmuseum, shows the artist's use of quick and gestural lines to capture the movement and form of his subjects. The work is an example of Breitner's early style, where he focused on capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life. This study reflects the artist’s quick and dynamic style as he worked to capture the essence of figures in motion.
