Studie 1881 - 1883

"Studie" is a charcoal drawing created between 1881 and 1883 by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a loose and gestural style characteristic of Breitner's early work. The composition captures a fleeting moment, perhaps a glimpse of an urban scene, with simplified forms and an emphasis on light and shadow. This study offers a glimpse into Breitner's artistic process, demonstrating his mastery of charcoal and his ability to convey atmosphere with minimal detail.
