Figuren aan het werk, mogelijk op een bouwterrein 1881 - 1883

"Figuren aan het werk, mogelijk op een bouwterrein" (Figures at work, possibly on a construction site), an 1881–1883 sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, is a quick study of figures engaged in labor. It is a preliminary sketch for a larger composition, showing the artist's working process. The loose and gestural lines capture the energy and movement of the scene. Breitner, known for his depiction of Amsterdam city life, often used sketches as inspiration for his paintings. This sketch, now in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artist's creative practice.
