Studie c. 1886 - 1923

"Studie" is a charcoal drawing on paper by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dating to between 1886 and 1923. The drawing, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a small study, measuring just 121 mm by 193 mm, and it is a testament to Breitner's mastery of capturing light and shadow in simple forms. This study, likely a preliminary sketch for a larger work, showcases Breitner's attention to detail and his ability to render depth and texture through precise lines and subtle shading. The drawing's delicate strokes and the faint outlines suggest the artist's exploration of composition and form, giving us a glimpse into his artistic process.
