Figuurstudies c. 1886 - 1923

"Figuurstudies" (c. 1886-1923) is a quick pencil sketch on paper by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner. The artwork depicts two figures in motion, likely captured from life. Breitner is known for his bold, expressive line work, and his interest in capturing the energy of everyday life. The sketch captures a fleeting moment, with the figures' movements suggested through loose, gestural strokes. The work is characteristic of Breitner's artistic style, which combined elements of Impressionism and realism. This sketch is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
