Eén of twee aangemeerde schepen c. 1903

This quick sketch, “Eén of twee aangemeerde schepen,” by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, is an example of his unique style of capturing the bustle of daily life in Amsterdam. Created around 1903, this pencil drawing showcases Breitner’s characteristic use of bold lines and energetic strokes to depict the silhouette of a ship docked along a canal. This small yet expressive sketch provides a glimpse into the artist's process of observing and documenting the urban landscape. The drawing is part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
