Zittende vrouw 1884 - 1886

"Zittende vrouw" (Sitting Woman) is a quick charcoal sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1884 and 1886. This preliminary drawing, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a woman reclining in a chair, capturing the essence of her pose with loose yet expressive strokes. The artist's use of hatching and shading contributes to the sense of movement and immediacy within the composition.
