Man met hoed 1896 - 1897

"Man met hoed" (Man with a Hat) is a sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1896 and 1897. The sketch, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a simple line drawing of a man in profile, likely a street scene common in Breitner's work. The artist used a light red chalk for the drawing, highlighting the figure against the lined notebook paper. This sketch is a study in the artist's process, offering a glimpse into Breitner's observational style.
