Studie, mogelijk van een weg c. 1886 - 1890

"Studie, mogelijk van een weg," a pencil drawing by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, exemplifies his unique approach to capturing urban landscapes. Created between 1886 and 1890, this preliminary sketch, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Breitner's characteristic quick, gestural lines, suggesting a dynamic scene. Though the subject remains unclear, the artist's focus on capturing movement and atmosphere rather than precise detail is evident. This work offers a glimpse into Breitner's artistic process, revealing the spontaneity and energy that would later characterize his mature paintings.
