Buste van een man met hoofddeksel 1883 - 1885

This charcoal drawing, *Buste van een man met hoofddeksel*, is a study by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner from 1883-1885, and currently hangs in the Rijksmuseum. Breitner is known for his realistic depictions of urban life in Amsterdam, often focusing on everyday people and scenes. This drawing, with its loose and gestural lines, demonstrates his talent for capturing both form and character with minimal detail. The artist's interest in portraying the lives of ordinary people is evident in this intimate study.
