"Boom" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created in 1917. This quick, gestural drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the essence of a tree branch in minimal strokes. Breitner, known for his urban landscapes and dynamic compositions, utilized this simple yet expressive style to depict natural forms, offering a glimpse into his artistic process and his keen eye for detail.
