Handkar op het Leidseplein te Amsterdam c. 1882 - 1903

"Handkar op het Leidseplein te Amsterdam," a charcoal drawing by George Hendrik Breitner, captures the hustle and bustle of daily life in Amsterdam. Created between 1882 and 1903, the artwork depicts a figure pushing a cart with a single large wheel, set against a backdrop of buildings and a busy street. The loose, gestural lines of the drawing convey a sense of movement and energy, characteristic of Breitner's style. The drawing is housed at the Rijksmuseum and is a testament to the artist's fascination with the dynamism of urban life.
