"Vrouw" (Woman) is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dating from between 1867 and 1923. This quick sketch, part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, showcases Breitner's mastery of capturing movement and form. The dynamic lines suggest a fleeting moment, likely a woman walking, her dress flowing in the wind. Breitner's focus on capturing the essence of everyday life through sketches is evident in this work, which is both intimate and expressive.
