Zittende man 1884 - 1886

"Zittende man" (Sitting Man) is a charcoal sketch on paper by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1884 and 1886. This artwork is a study of a single figure, likely a man, captured in a casual pose. Breitner's loose and expressive strokes convey the subject's posture and form with a sense of immediacy. The drawing is characterized by a dynamic use of light and shadow, typical of Breitner's style. The sketch is currently held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, offering a glimpse into Breitner's artistic process and his ability to capture the essence of a figure through expressive lines.
