Studie, mogelijk van een figuur voor gebouwen 1881 - 1883

This study, possibly for a figure in a building, was created between 1881 and 1883 by the Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner. This is one of many preliminary sketches he made to work on his larger paintings, often depicting scenes of daily life in Amsterdam. Breitner is known for his paintings of city life and figures in urban landscapes, often using a loose and expressive style. This sketch captures the essence of his method, with quick, gestural lines that hint at a figure and its surroundings. The work is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection in Amsterdam.
