Figuurstudies 1893

"Figuurstudies" is a pencil sketch on paper by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dated 1893. This quick sketch, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures a fleeting moment of observation, possibly a study for a larger work. The lines are loose and expressive, capturing the essence of figures rather than precise detail. This work exemplifies Breitner's keen eye for capturing the movement and energy of everyday life, a hallmark of his artistic style.
