Studie, abklatsch van een krijttekening 1909

This charcoal drawing, *Studie, abklatsch van een krijttekening*, is a study by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dating to 1909. The piece is a faint, almost ghostly rendering of a figure, likely a portrait. The sketchy strokes of the charcoal create a sense of movement and energy, typical of Breitner's style. The drawing offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process, as he explored the composition and form of his subject before committing to a more finished work. Today, the artwork is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
