Studie, mogelijk van benen c. 1886 - 1890

"Studie, mogelijk van benen," (Study, possibly of legs), a pencil drawing created by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner between 1886 and 1890, depicts a quick sketch of two legs in a relaxed pose. This piece exemplifies Breitner's signature style of loose lines and gestural strokes, emphasizing the fleeting moment of observation. The drawing's informality reflects his interest in capturing the everyday reality of the human figure, a common theme in his work. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this study provides a glimpse into Breitner's creative process, showcasing his dynamic approach to capturing anatomy and movement.
