Groep figuren 1884 - 1886

This quick sketch of figures, titled *Groep figuren* and created between 1884 and 1886 by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, is a study in form and movement. The artist's use of simple lines to capture the essence of the figures is characteristic of his style, known for its directness and focus on capturing the dynamism of urban life. This particular sketch, housed at the Rijksmuseum, likely served as preliminary work for a larger painting. The artist's quick, gestural strokes hint at the energy and activity present in the scene.
