Kar 1886 - 1923

"Kar" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created sometime between 1886 and 1923. The drawing, held in the Rijksmuseum, features a simplified figure with a large head and body, perhaps a portrait or a study of a person in motion. Breitner's expressive, loose lines and gestural style are evident in this work. The subject's identity remains unclear, but it is likely a depiction of a person known to the artist during his active career.
