Studie 1884 - 1886

"Studie" is a simple yet evocative pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dating from 1884-1886. The composition focuses on a figure, likely a seated woman, in a rough outline. This study, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, likely served as preliminary exploration for a larger work by Breitner, showcasing the artist's observational and rapid rendering skills. Breitner is known for his Impressionistic style, often capturing scenes of daily life in Amsterdam.
