This quick sketch by George Hendrik Breitner, titled "Man, possibly in a workshop," is a prime example of his signature style. Created between 1882 and 1912, the work uses loose, gestural lines to depict a figure in a dynamic pose. The artist's rapid strokes, visible in the diagonal lines and hatched shading, highlight the energy and immediacy of the moment captured. This small-scale drawing demonstrates Breitner's mastery of capturing the essence of his subject with minimal detail, allowing the viewer to engage in their own interpretation of the scene.
