Twee figuren in gewaden, mogelijk chitons 1886 - 1923

This is a preliminary sketch, "Twee figuren in gewaden, mogelijk chitons", by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner. It dates between 1886 and 1923, and is housed in the Rijksmuseum. The rough pencil lines capture the figures in a minimalist style. The sketch is a testament to Breitner's artistic process, revealing the initial stages of his artistic vision before it was fully realized. The inscription "Keningfv. 58." suggests the drawing may be a study for a larger work.
