Gezicht op de Overtoom te Amsterdam 1907

This is a pencil sketch on paper by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, known for his urban scenes. The artwork, dated 1907, depicts a view of the Overtoom in Amsterdam, captured in quick, gestural lines. The sketchy style and the simple subject matter, featuring a street scene with passing figures, are characteristic of Breitner's work, and this piece, in particular, highlights his interest in capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Breitner's artistic process and his ability to convey atmosphere and movement through minimal means.
