"Figuurstudies" (Figure Studies) is a pencil drawing on paper by the Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1884 and 1886. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this artwork is a preliminary sketch showcasing Breitner’s signature style of capturing movement and light through quick, gestural strokes. The drawing, featuring two figures, exemplifies Breitner's keen interest in observing everyday life and translating it into his art.
