Figuurstudies, mogelijk van vrouwen 1881 - 1883

"Figuurstudies, mogelijk van vrouwen" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dating back to 1881-1883. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the essence of figure studies through its gestural lines and minimalist composition. While the figures remain undefined, their presence is felt through Breitner's masterful use of line and form. This study exemplifies his interest in capturing the essence of human movement and form, which would later characterize his more refined and celebrated works.
