Twee vrouwen c. 1886 - 1923

"Twee vrouwen" (Two Women) is a graphite drawing on paper by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dating back to the late 19th or early 20th century. The work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Breitner's signature style of rapid, gestural lines, capturing a fleeting moment with an expressive immediacy. Though the subject is obscured by the loose, sketchy lines, the image likely depicts two women in a reclining pose, highlighting the artist's interest in portraying the human figure and its movement. This sketch exemplifies Breitner's approach to capturing the essence of a scene through spontaneous and energetic drawing.
