"Twee staande figuren" is a sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1883 and 1885. The work features two standing figures, captured in a gestural and expressive style. Breitner, a prominent figure in the Hague School, was known for his dynamic depictions of urban life and his innovative use of light and shadow. This sketch, housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcases his early exploration of form and movement, offering a glimpse into the artist's creative process. The quick lines and unfinished quality of the drawing emphasize spontaneity, characteristic of Breitner's approach to capturing everyday moments.
