This is a pencil sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, dating from 1881-1883. It is a study for a larger painting, possibly depicting a boat. While the subject is unclear, Breitner's style is evident in the quick, loose strokes and the emphasis on capturing the essence of the subject rather than photographic realism. The drawing is housed in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to Breitner's legacy as a key figure in Dutch Impressionism.
