Gezichten Possibly 1883 - 1885

This preliminary sketch, titled "Gezichten" (Faces), is a work by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dating back to 1883–1885. The piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Breitner's signature style of capturing fleeting moments and raw emotions through loose, expressive lines. The fragmented composition, with its emphasis on facial features, hints at the artist's fascination with human psychology and his desire to convey the complexity of human expression.
