Man met een voorwerp, naar links c. 1876 - 1886

This quick sketch, “Man met een voorwerp, naar links”, was created by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner between 1876 and 1886. The drawing is executed in pencil and depicts a man in profile, turned to the left. This informal, gestural sketch is a characteristic example of Breitner's approach to drawing, which emphasized capturing the essence of a subject rather than creating a detailed, finished work. The drawing is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
