Gebouwen c. 1880 - 1906

"Gebouwen" is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1880 and 1906. This quick sketch, housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the essence of buildings with loose, expressive lines. Breitner was known for his urban scenes and impressionistic style, often using charcoal to capture fleeting moments and atmospheric effects. The minimalist composition and use of dark tones highlight the architectonic forms of the buildings, creating a sense of depth and presence.
