"Figuurstudies" (1880-1882) is a graphite drawing by the Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, currently located in the Rijksmuseum. The drawing is a study of human figures, likely composed of quick sketches made during the artist's observation of everyday life. This raw and gestural work is a typical example of Breitner's fascination with capturing the dynamism of urban life in Amsterdam.
