Studie, mogelijk van een gebouw c. 1902 - 1914

This preliminary sketch, "Studie, mogelijk van een gebouw," by George Hendrik Breitner, a prominent Dutch painter, was likely created between 1902 and 1914. The minimalist lines and quick strokes, executed in graphite on paper, suggest an initial exploration of architectural form. The artist's interest in capturing the dynamism of urban life through quick sketches is evident, demonstrating a keen eye for observation and a desire to translate it onto the page. This artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the creative process of one of Holland's most celebrated artists.
