Studies Possibly 1881 - 1883

"Studies" is a sketchbook drawing by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, likely created between 1881 and 1883. The piece, housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcases Breitner's mastery of capturing movement and form through gestural lines. This loose and expressive style, characteristic of his early work, reflects his interest in capturing fleeting moments of everyday life. The subject matter, though not readily identifiable, suggests a focus on human figures or perhaps a scene from the artist's daily environment.
