This charcoal sketch, titled "Architectuurstudies en een dier, mogelijk een maki" by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner (1857-1923), is a study of architecture and a possible lemur. The drawing's rough, gestural lines suggest a quick observation, perhaps made during a visit to the zoo or a museum. Characteristic of Breitner's work, the composition emphasizes the relationship between human and animal forms, highlighting the architectural structures surrounding them. The sketch, created between 1883 and 1885, is housed in the Rijksmuseum, providing a glimpse into Breitner's artistic process and his fascination with the world around him.
