"Zittende vrouw, mogelijk een dienstmeid" (Sitting woman, possibly a maid) is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dating back to 1886-1923. This quick sketch, held in the Rijksmuseum, captures a seated woman in a loose and gestural style. The artist's focus is on the figure's form, with minimal detail in the surrounding environment. Breitner's use of expressive lines and quick strokes reveals a spontaneous approach to capturing the human figure, characteristic of his work.
