Man langs een weg Possibly 1883 - 1886

"Man langs een weg" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created sometime between 1883 and 1886. The work is housed in the Rijksmuseum, and captures a fleeting moment of everyday life in the artist's characteristic style. Breitner is known for his Impressionistic approach to capturing the dynamism of urban scenes, often emphasizing the interplay of light and shadow in his compositions. This sketch, while unassuming in its execution, hints at the artist's fascination with the human figure and their movement within the landscape.
