It is believed to date between 1881 and 1885, a period when Breitner was experimenting with different styles and techniques. This drawing is an excellent example of Breitner’s dynamic use of line and his fascination with capturing movement. The work is held in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
