Hoofden 1881 - 1883

"Hoofden" (Heads) is a pencil sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1881 and 1883. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Breitner’s early style, characterized by quick, expressive strokes and a focus on capturing the essence of his subjects. The sketch features several heads, likely studies for larger works, executed with a sense of immediacy. These studies demonstrate Breitner's keen observation and ability to depict form and emotion through minimal lines.
