Figuren, mogelijk in een etablissement 1886 - 1898

"Figuren, mogelijk in een etablissement" is a sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1886 and 1898, and is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection. The drawing depicts a few figures in a sketchy style, with a focus on their forms and outlines rather than detail. Breitner, known for his depictions of daily life in Amsterdam, used this sketch as a study, capturing the essence of a scene before transferring it to a more finished work. The rapid lines and loose composition convey a sense of spontaneity and capture the energy of a bustling café or public space. The artwork serves as a window into Breitner's working process, offering insight into his artistic approach.
