Schets van een persoon met een last op de rug 1867 - 1923

"Schets van een persoon met een last op de rug" is a graphite sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner. The drawing, which is housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a figure with a heavy object on their back, captured in a swift and expressive manner. Breitner was known for his depiction of everyday life in Amsterdam and his use of dynamic lines and quick strokes. This sketch, created between 1867 and 1923, exemplifies his artistic style and interest in capturing the human figure in motion. The work is a study in form and movement, and its minimalist approach allows the viewer to focus on the figure's physical burden and its impact on their posture.
