Architectuurstudie 1880 - 1882

"Architectuurstudie" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1880 and 1882. This study, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Breitner’s interest in capturing architectural details, possibly a glimpse into his creative process for larger artworks. The faint lines, suggesting a structure, reveal the artist's early ideas and potential exploration of perspective. This minimalist sketch, characterized by its delicate lines and muted tones, is a testament to Breitner's dedication to capturing the essence of his surroundings.
