Figuren bij aangemeerde schepen 1887 - 1889

"Figuren bij aangemeerde schepen" (Figures by Moored Ships) is a graphite sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1887 and 1889. Breitner is known for his urban scenes and his focus on capturing the energy and movement of the modern city. This sketch, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fleeting glimpse of everyday life in Amsterdam, featuring figures and moored ships drawn with loose, expressive lines. The use of graphite creates a sense of immediacy and spontaneity, characteristic of Breitner's style.
