Twee figuren c. 1886 - 1903

"Twee figuren" (Two figures) is a quick sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1886 and 1903. The drawing, executed in pencil, is a study for a larger composition, featuring two figures partially obscured by the edges of the page. Breitner's characteristic loose lines and spontaneous style capture the fleeting moment, emphasizing the dynamism of the figures and their interplay with their surroundings. The work is an example of Breitner's early sketches and demonstrates his keen observation and ability to capture the essence of a scene with economy of means.
