Buste van een man met hoed c. 1895 - 1898

"Buste van een man met hoed" (Bust of a man with a hat) is a graphite drawing by George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1895 and 1898. It is a quick sketch of a man in profile, wearing a hat and a coat, and is a good example of Breitner's use of line to capture the essence of a subject. The work is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and stands as a testament to Breitner's mastery of drawing. The minimalist approach and unfinished quality are characteristic of the artist's sketches.
