Figuurstudies c. 1891 - 1894

"Figuurstudies" is a sketchbook page by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, dated c. 1891-1894. The page depicts a simple yet striking drawing of two figures in a quick, gestural style. Breitner is known for his urban scenes and atmospheric paintings, and this sketch likely reflects his interest in capturing the movement and energy of everyday life. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to his practice of capturing the fleeting moments of the human figure through quick studies.
