Staande vrouw Possibly 1881 - 1883

"Staande vrouw" (Standing Woman) is a pencil sketch by George Hendrik Breitner, likely created between 1881 and 1883. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Breitner's signature style of capturing fleeting moments in everyday life. The quick strokes and loose lines suggest the artist's swift observation of a woman, possibly standing on a street corner. The sketchy nature of the drawing exemplifies the artistic movement known as Impressionism, which emphasized capturing the ephemeral qualities of light and movement.
