Sloterdijkbrug te Amsterdam 1886 - 1908

"Sloterdijkbrug te Amsterdam" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1886 and 1908. The drawing, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, depicts a view of the Sloterdijk Bridge in Amsterdam, likely a preliminary study for a larger painting. Breitner's distinctive style, characterized by loose, expressive strokes and a focus on capturing the energy of everyday life, is evident in this work. The sketch's rough, unfinished nature suggests a rapid, on-the-spot observation of the scene, reflecting Breitner's fascination with the urban environment of Amsterdam.
