Studie, mogelijk van een helm 1880 - 1882

This graphite sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner (1857-1923) is part of a larger sketchbook held at the Rijksmuseum. Dated 1880-1882, the drawing depicts what appears to be a helmet, suggesting that it may have been made during a period when Breitner was working on a more elaborate piece. The sketch displays Breitner's characteristic bold and expressive linework, which is typical of his Impressionist style. His quick strokes, layered to build up form and texture, give the viewer a sense of immediacy and energy.
