Studie c. 1906 - 1923

"Studie" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1906 and 1923. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a study of form and composition, with a focus on layering and gestural marks. Breitner is known for his depictions of Amsterdam life, often using expressive brushstrokes and bold colors, but this sketch demonstrates his ability to convey a sense of depth and movement through more nuanced, gestural lines. The study reveals the artist's creative process and his exploration of form through simplified lines, a characteristic found in many of his later works.
