Studie, mogelijk een figuurstudie 1887 - 1891

This quick sketch, likely a figure study, was made by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner between 1887 and 1891. The faint lines suggest a rapid gesture drawing of a standing figure, executed in pencil on paper. The study, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Breitner's interest in capturing the essence of movement and form in fleeting moments. Though incomplete, the drawing reveals the artist's masterful understanding of anatomy and his keen eye for detail. This piece offers a glimpse into the creative process of a renowned artist.
