Schetsboek met 72 bladen 1880 - 1882

This sketchbook by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, dating from 1880-1882, is a fascinating glimpse into the artist's creative process. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, the small, unassuming volume, with its marbled paper cover and dark spine, likely contained numerous sketches and studies by the artist. Breitner's meticulous attention to detail and his realistic approach to capturing scenes of everyday life are evident in his surviving works, making this sketchbook a valuable document for art historians and admirers of his style.
