Figuurstudies 1881 - 1883

This 1881-1883 drawing by George Hendrik Breitner, titled "Figuurstudies," is a study in pencil on paper, likely an anatomical study. It showcases the artist's fascination with the human form and his exploration of line and shadow. The drawing's preliminary nature and the artist's visible notations, like "str," "Ls," and "L. 1/2," suggest a work in progress, providing insight into Breitner's artistic process. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the artistic development of a prominent Dutch painter known for his urban scenes and dynamic compositions.
