Studie, mogelijk een figuurstudie 1887 - 1891

"Studie, mogelijk een figuurstudie" is a simple pencil sketch by George Hendrik Breitner, housed in the Rijksmuseum. Dated between 1887 and 1891, the drawing likely served as a quick study for a larger work. The subject is unclear, but its gestural lines suggest a figure, possibly a hand or arm. The sketch's minimalist style is typical of Breitner's early work, which often focused on capturing the essence of a moment rather than achieving meticulous detail. Breitner was known for his urban scenes and portraits, and his quick sketches like this one offer a glimpse into his creative process.
