Figuurstudie 1881 - 1883

"Figuurstudie" is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1881 and 1883. This quick sketch, now held in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Breitner's skill in capturing the human form. The loose and expressive lines suggest the artist's focus on the study of anatomy and gesture, rather than creating a finished portrait. This piece exemplifies the artist's exploration of realism and his interest in capturing everyday moments.
