Studie van een constructie c. 1900 - 1901

"Studie van een constructie" is a pencil sketch by George Hendrik Breitner, a prominent Dutch painter known for his urban landscapes and atmospheric scenes. This study, dating back to around 1900-1901, likely represents a preliminary sketch for a larger work. The simple lines and hatched shading offer a glimpse into Breitner's creative process and his keen eye for detail, hinting at his meticulous approach to capturing the architectural features of his surroundings. This sketch, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides insight into the artist's working methods and his fascination with the built environment.
