Daken 1910

"Daken" (Roofs), a 1910 drawing by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, depicts an architectural composition with a strong emphasis on lines and angles. Breitner, known for his urban landscapes and atmospheric depictions of Amsterdam, captures the essence of the city's rooftops in this simple yet powerful sketch. The loose, gestural lines create a sense of movement and energy, highlighting the dynamic structure of the buildings. "Daken" is a prime example of Breitner's keen eye for detail and his ability to convey the essence of a scene through subtle, expressive strokes.
