Studie, mogelijk van een mast c. 1886 - 1891

"Studie, mogelijk van een mast" (Study, Possibly of a Mast) is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dated c. 1886-1891. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the artist's interest in architectural forms and perspective. The composition features a series of lines and shapes that seem to depict a mast or some other structural element, hinting at Breitner's keen observation of the urban landscape. This preliminary study demonstrates his early exploration of geometric composition and his use of light and shadow.
