Figuren, mogelijk in een interieur 1881 - 1883

This sketch, titled "Figuren, mogelijk in een interieur" (Figures, possibly in an interior), is a work by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dating back to 1881-1883. It is housed in the Rijksmuseum, and showcases Breitner's early explorations of form and composition. The rapid, gestural lines and light shading suggest a preliminary study for a larger work, with an emphasis on capturing movement and spatial relationships. While the subject matter remains elusive, the artist's distinct style, characterized by dynamic lines and atmospheric effects, is already evident.
