Figuurstudies c. 1885

"Figuurstudies," a charcoal sketch by George Hendrik Breitner from around 1885, captures a moment of casual intimacy. The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts two figures in an informal setting, likely a studio or home, with a lamp in the background adding a touch of atmosphere. The artist's quick, gestural lines create a sense of immediacy, reflecting his signature style and interest in capturing the fleeting essence of everyday life.
