Studie 1880 - 1882

"Studie," a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, showcases the artist's signature style. Executed between 1880 and 1882, this piece reveals Breitner's early fascination with capturing the dynamism of urban life. The loose, gestural lines suggest a fleeting moment, possibly a street scene or a figure in motion. The work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into Breitner's artistic development before he became known for his evocative depictions of Amsterdam's streets and its people.
