Studie, mogelijk een gezicht in Amsterdam c. 1886 - 1923

This is a small, preliminary sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dated between 1886 and 1923. The work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a delicate study in pencil, possibly depicting a face, and demonstrates Breitner's exploration of form and composition. The artist was known for his energetic brushwork and expressive depictions of urban life in Amsterdam. The sketch's intimate scale and loose lines contribute to its sense of immediacy, highlighting the artist's spontaneous approach to capturing fleeting moments.
