Studie 1883 - 1885

"Studie" is a study by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, dating back to 1883-1885 and currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. This simple yet intriguing work features a faint, almost ghost-like, line drawing of an object on a textured, off-white paper. While the subject remains unidentified, the minimalist composition speaks to Breitner's interest in capturing the essence of everyday objects through quick, expressive strokes. This study provides a glimpse into the artist's creative process, showcasing his artistic exploration and the evolution of his style during this period.
