Gezicht in Amsterdam met aangemeerde boten 1893 - 1898

This charcoal sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner captures a fleeting moment in Amsterdam, likely from the artist's sketchbook. The quick strokes and abstract lines suggest a dynamic scene of moored boats and the city's canals. Breitner was known for his Impressionist style and his focus on urban life, and this preliminary drawing showcases his ability to capture the essence of a scene with minimal detail. The work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his interest in the urban landscape of Amsterdam.
