Figuurstudies 1881 - 1883

"Figuurstudies," a collection of figure studies created by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner between 1881 and 1883, is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum. This work exemplifies Breitner's signature style, characterized by loose and expressive strokes in charcoal, capturing the dynamic movement and fleeting moments of his subjects. The composition features three individual figures, each rendered with a sense of immediacy, offering a glimpse into Breitner's artistic process and his keen observation of human form.
