Zittende vrouw 1881 - 1883

"Zittende vrouw" is a pencil sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1881 and 1883. This preliminary study is notable for its loose and expressive lines, capturing a sense of movement and spontaneity. The fragmented figure, rendered in a few quick strokes, hints at a seated woman, her form partially obscured by the energy of the artist's lines. This quick sketch, housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Breitner's fascination with capturing fleeting moments and urban life through his art.
