"Figuren in een steeg te Gent" is a pencil sketch by George Hendrik Breitner, a prominent Dutch painter known for his cityscapes. Created around 1907–1911, this work captures a fleeting glimpse of an alley in Ghent, Belgium. Breitner's signature style is evident in the quick, expressive strokes that suggest movement and light. This sketch, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Breitner's fascination with everyday life and the beauty he found in the ordinary.
