"Annotaties" is a sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner from around 1902. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this work is a glimpse into Breitner's artistic process. The piece features a page filled with notes and scribbles, likely a study for a larger composition. Breitner was known for his expressive brushstrokes and his fascination with urban life, so this sketch may have been an exploration of ideas for a future painting.
