Figuur in een landschap 1881 - 1883

"Figuur in een landschap" (Figure in a Landscape) is a charcoal drawing by George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1881 and 1883 and currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The drawing depicts a quick sketch of a figure, possibly a man, standing in a landscape. Breitner’s use of loose lines and charcoal creates a sense of movement and immediacy, capturing the essence of the figure and its surrounding environment in a fleeting moment. The drawing exemplifies Breitner's interest in capturing the dynamic energy of everyday life, a characteristic prevalent in his later works.
