Studie c. 1882 - 1912

"Studie," a drawing by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, is a small-scale work (78 x 128 mm) currently held in the Rijksmuseum. The drawing, dating back to the early 20th century, features a faint, barely visible sketch on the paper. Breitner, known for his realism and urban scenes, may have used this study as a preliminary exploration of composition, light, or form for a larger work. The minimalist nature of the piece showcases Breitner's mastery of line and tonal values, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue.
