Studieblad 1880 - 1882

"Studie blad" (Study Sheet) is a sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner dating back to 1880-1882. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a quick, gestural depiction of a scene, possibly in a park, showcasing Breitner's signature style of capturing fleeting moments. The loose, expressive lines highlight the dynamic movement of the scene and create a sense of immediacy. The artist's fascination with the modern city life and the interplay of light and shadow are evident in this preliminary study, which would have served as a basis for a larger painting.
