Soldaten 1887 - 1891

"Soldaten" is a pencil sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1887 and 1891. The sketch is housed in the Rijksmuseum and shows a series of quick, gestural lines capturing the essence of military figures. The lines convey a sense of movement and energy, characteristic of Breitner's style. This small-scale work demonstrates the artist's keen observation of everyday life and his ability to capture fleeting moments with immediacy.
