Gezicht op gebouwen en een kerk, mogelijk de Nieuwe Kerk te Amsterdam 1914 - 1923

This is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1914 and 1923. The drawing is a simple, yet expressive, study of buildings and possibly the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam. It is a work from the artist's later period, which saw him exploring the urban landscape of his hometown in a more abstract and minimalist style. The loose, gestural lines and the focus on basic forms capture the essence of the subject matter, creating a sense of immediacy and energy. The drawing is a testament to Breitner's keen observation and his ability to capture the fleeting moments of daily life. It currently resides in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
