Studies van mannen 1872 - 1879

"Studies van mannen" is a collection of anatomical sketches by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1872 and 1879. The drawing, housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcases Breitner's early exploration of the human form through a series of pencil studies of nude male figures. The sketches are characterized by their loose and gestural lines, capturing the dynamic poses and musculature of the models. These studies, likely created during life drawing sessions, are a testament to Breitner's meticulous observation and skill as a draftsman.
