Hoofd van een jonge man 1880 - 1882

"Head of a Young Man" is a pencil drawing on paper by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dating from 1880-1882. This intimate portrait study, now in the Rijksmuseum, captures the subtle contours and expressions of a young man's face, demonstrating Breitner's skilled draftsmanship. The loose and gestural lines suggest a quick sketch, possibly made from life, revealing the artist's keen observation and ability to capture a moment in time.
