Twee studies van een staande vrouw c. 1882

This quick sketch, "Twee studies van een staande vrouw" (Two Studies of a Standing Woman) by George Hendrik Breitner, showcases the artist's skill in capturing the human figure. The loose, gestural lines are typical of Breitner's style, emphasizing the fleeting nature of the moment. Though the subject is not clearly defined, the figure's form is suggested through the artist's fluid lines. Executed in pencil on paper, the work demonstrates Breitner's interest in exploring light and shadow, contributing to the overall dynamism of the composition. The drawing, dating back to 1882, is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum and offers a glimpse into the creative process of this renowned Dutch artist.
