Studieblad met hoofden c. 1882

This charcoal sketch, "Studie blad met hoofden" (Study Sheet with Heads), is a quick study by George Hendrik Breitner, a prominent Dutch painter of the late 19th century. Breitner is best known for his dynamic depiction of Amsterdam street life, often utilizing bold brushstrokes and realistic details. This sketch likely captures a fleeting moment observed during one of his walks through the city. The sketchy lines and minimal detail emphasize the spontaneity of the artist's observation and the fleeting nature of his subject.
