Drie vrouwen met hoeden c. 1886 - 1891

"Drie vrouwen met hoeden" (Three Women with Hats), a charcoal sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, captures the essence of everyday life in late 19th-century Amsterdam. Breitner, known for his dynamic and expressive style, quickly sketches three figures, their hats and clothing forming swirling lines on the page. This intimate and spontaneous work, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, illustrates Breitner's keen observation of the city's bustling atmosphere and its inhabitants.
