Gezicht in Amsterdam, mogelijk het Beurspleintje tijdens de afbraak 1912

"Gezicht in Amsterdam, mogelijk het Beurspleintje tijdens de afbraak" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, depicting the demolition of a building in Amsterdam. The rapid lines and simple forms, characteristic of Breitner’s style, capture the dynamism of the scene, with the tall buildings and their surrounding space clearly defined. The work is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum and highlights Breitner’s fascination with capturing the city’s changing landscape. The sketch’s small size adds to its intimacy, inviting viewers to imagine themselves in the midst of the city’s transformation.
