Gezicht op de Barentszkade te Amsterdam met heimaterieel 1896 - 1901

"Gezicht op de Barentszkade te Amsterdam met heimaterieel" (View of the Barentszkade in Amsterdam with home materials) is a sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1896 and 1901. The artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases Breitner's characteristic style of capturing the urban landscape of Amsterdam through rapid, expressive strokes. The sketch, executed in pencil on paper, depicts a view of the Barentszkade, a street in Amsterdam, with its characteristic buildings and street life. The artist's loose and gestural lines suggest the dynamic energy of the city. The work serves as a study for a larger painting and is considered a valuable example of Breitner's working process, offering insights into his artistic development and exploration of urban subjects.
