Zittende vrouw voor een muur c. 1882

"Zittende vrouw voor een muur" (Seated Woman in front of a Wall) is a graphite sketch by George Hendrik Breitner, dating back to around 1882. The work is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and captures the essence of Breitner's artistic style characterized by its quick, gestural lines and emphasis on capturing the fleeting moment. The sketch shows a seated woman partially obscured by the wall, with a sense of depth and light created through the artist's masterful use of shading.
