Vrouw met hoed en een compositiestudie c. 1882 - 1912

"Vrouw met hoed en een compositiestudie" (Woman with a Hat and a Compositional Study), a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, is a quick, expressive study of a woman in a hat. The artist's dynamic line work captures her form in a gestural manner, highlighting the movement of her clothing and the shape of her head. This piece, created between 1882 and 1912, showcases Breitner's characteristic use of light and shadow, giving a sense of depth and volume to the figure. The artwork is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, offering a glimpse into Breitner's working process as he explored composition and light.
