Dienstmeid, op de rug gezien 1893

George Hendrik Breitner, known for his Impressionist and Realist style, created a graphite sketch titled "Dienstmeid, op de rug gezien" (Maid, seen from behind) in 1893. The drawing, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, captures the fleeting moment of a maid's figure, seen from the back, with a distinct focus on her posture and clothing, highlighted with dynamic strokes. This work exemplifies Breitner's dedication to capturing the everyday lives of ordinary people in Amsterdam, showcasing his ability to translate everyday scenes into compelling art.
