Staand meisje Possibly 1883 - 1886

"Staand meisje" is a charcoal drawing created by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, likely between 1883 and 1886. The drawing depicts a figure, possibly a woman, in a standing pose, captured in a loose and gestural style. This sketch is characteristic of Breitner's practice of capturing fleeting moments and figures in his urban environment, showcasing his mastery of capturing movement and form with minimal lines. Currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, this piece offers insight into Breitner's artistic process and his interest in the everyday life of Amsterdam.
