Studie 1883 - 1885

This pencil sketch, "Studie" by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, is a simple yet evocative study of two figures. Created between 1883 and 1885, it shows Breitner's signature use of loose, expressive lines, capturing the essence of his subjects rather than focusing on precise detail. The sketch's informality highlights the artist's fascination with capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life, a common theme in his work. "Studie" is a fascinating glimpse into the creative process of a renowned artist, showcasing his skill in capturing the human form through a few simple strokes. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
