Man met pet 1881 - 1883

"Man met pet" is a pencil sketch by George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1881 and 1883 and currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The drawing depicts a man with a hat, though the details are vague and almost abstract. This study, likely a preliminary sketch for a larger work, demonstrates Breitner's exploration of capturing human form and movement through a loose and gestural style characteristic of his early work.
