Gezicht op de sloop van huizen in de De Clercqstraat te Amsterdam c. 1906 - 1923

"Gezicht op de sloop van huizen in de De Clercqstraat te Amsterdam" is a charcoal sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1906 and 1923. This piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the demolition of houses in the De Clercqstraat in Amsterdam. Breitner’s quick and expressive strokes convey a sense of dynamism and the fleeting nature of the scene. The sketch exemplifies the artist's fascination with urban landscapes, particularly the changing face of Amsterdam. This piece, along with other works by Breitner, provides valuable insights into the city's development and the artistic landscape of early 20th-century Amsterdam.
