Staande man met een hand in de zij c. 1880 - 1906

This loose sketch, "Staande man met een hand in de zij" by George Hendrik Breitner, is a quick study of a standing man with a hand on his hip. Created sometime between 1880 and 1906, it exemplifies Breitner's signature style, capturing the essence of a subject with bold, gestural strokes. The simplicity of the lines and the minimal detail highlight the artist's focus on movement and form. This study, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a fascinating insight into the artist's process and his ability to convey complex compositions with minimal means.
