Studie Possibly 1882 - 1900

"Studie" is a pencil sketch on paper by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dating back to the late 19th century. The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Breitner's signature style of capturing everyday life in a quick and expressive manner. The loose, gestural lines and simple composition suggest a study for a larger work, capturing a fleeting moment in the city. The subject matter, likely a figure seated on a chair, is rendered with minimal detail, focusing on the interplay of light and shadow. This study reflects Breitner's keen observation of the urban environment and his interest in capturing the essence of human movement.
