Studie, mogelijk van een handkar c. 1900 - 1901

This quick sketch, "Studie, mogelijk van een handkar," by George Hendrik Breitner, is a study in the artist's characteristically loose and gestural style. Dating back to the turn of the 20th century, it likely depicts a handcart, but its fragmented lines and simplified forms highlight Breitner's interest in capturing the fleeting essence of his subject rather than meticulously rendering its details. This preliminary sketch provides a glimpse into Breitner's artistic process, showcasing his ability to convey volume and movement through a few deft strokes.
