Studieblad met figuren in de regen, aan een tafel en een man bij een paard 1873

This study sheet, created in 1873 by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, showcases the artist's quick and expressive style. It features four distinct scenes: a couple walking in the rain, a man holding a horse, a figure seated in a chair, and a group around a table. The loose lines and sketched forms of the figures suggest a moment of observation, perhaps a fleeting scene from everyday life in Amsterdam. The sheet exemplifies Breitner's early work, where he honed his skills in capturing movement and capturing the essence of a moment. The work is currently part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
