Jonge vrouw met muts of kap 1881 - 1883

"Jonge vrouw met muts of kap" (Young Woman with a Hat or Hood), a graphite drawing by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, was created between 1881 and 1883. The drawing, which is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, shows a quick sketch of a woman's head and shoulders, likely a study for a larger work. Breitner was known for his realistic depictions of everyday life in the Netherlands. The loose, gestural lines of the drawing suggest the artist's focus on capturing the fleeting moment. This sketch provides a glimpse into Breitner's working process, demonstrating his ability to capture a likeness with minimal detail.
