Studie c. 1909

"Studie" is a delicate pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created around 1909. The composition features a series of quick, loose lines forming an abstract figure or object, possibly inspired by a fleeting observation of the urban environment. The simplicity of the drawing highlights Breitner's sensitivity to light and form, typical of his artistic style. This preparatory study is a glimpse into the artist's creative process and demonstrates his ability to capture the essence of a subject with minimal strokes. The artwork is part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum, offering a unique perspective on Breitner's artistic practice.
