Vier gewapende mannen 1873

This 1873 pencil drawing, titled "Vier gewapende mannen," by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, depicts four armed men. The dynamic poses of the figures suggest a moment of action, likely from a larger historical scene. The artwork's simplicity and the use of line emphasize the subject matter's energy and movement, characteristic of Breitner's early style. This sketch is a rare glimpse into the artist's creative process, providing insight into his approach to composition and figure drawing. The work is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
