Studieblad met mannen 1880 - 1882

This charcoal drawing by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner is a study of a man, likely a figure from daily life in Amsterdam in the late 19th century. "Studie blad met mannen" is a preliminary sketch, a quick yet expressive record of the artist’s observations. The composition is simple, focused on the man's profile, conveying a sense of immediacy and authenticity in Breitner's style, often characterized by loose lines and dramatic contrasts of light and shadow. The drawing is part of the Rijksmuseum collection, providing a glimpse into Breitner's creative process and his keen eye for capturing the human form.
