Staande figuren 1910

"Staande figuren" is a 1910 sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The quick lines and minimal detail of the sketch capture the essence of a fleeting moment, characteristic of Breitner's approach to capturing city life. The work is a testament to the artist's skilled use of graphite, where the subtle shading and gestural strokes add depth and movement to the composition. This quick study of figures exemplifies Breitner's interest in urban subjects, often depicted in their natural environment.
