This is a quick sketch, "Figuur met uitgestoken handen" (c. 1883 - 1885), by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, located in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork is a simple pencil drawing of a figure's head and outstretched arms, capturing the essence of a fleeting moment in time. This type of sketch is typical of Breitner’s style, as he was known for his use of quick, expressive lines to capture movement and emotion. The sketch, though incomplete, shows the artist's ability to convey a sense of realism through minimal lines.
