Vrouwen met hoeden c. 1895 - 1898

"Vrouwen met hoeden" (Women with Hats) is a quick sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1895 and 1898. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Breitner's distinctive style, emphasizing bold lines and quick strokes to capture the essence of his subjects. The sketch depicts two figures, likely women, wearing hats, their forms captured with fleeting brushstrokes that suggest movement and informality. Breitner's sketches often served as studies for his larger, more detailed paintings, providing a glimpse into his creative process.
