Studie c. 1909

"Studie", a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, is an intimate glimpse into the artist's creative process. Created around 1909, this sketch likely depicts a fleeting moment in the life of a city dweller, as seen through Breitner's expressive lines and subtle shading. The composition, dominated by a single figure, speaks to Breitner's interest in capturing the essence of daily life, showcasing his mastery of capturing movement and emotion in a simple, yet powerful, composition.
