Gezicht in Amsterdam, mogelijk de Dam met het Koninklijk Paleis 1893

"Gezicht in Amsterdam, mogelijk de Dam met het Koninklijk Paleis" is a charcoal sketch by George Hendrik Breitner, dated 1893. Located at the Rijksmuseum, this sketch is likely a quick study of a scene in Amsterdam, potentially the Dam square and the Royal Palace. Breitner's quick strokes capture the essence of the cityscape, with the focus on the vertical lines of buildings and the diagonal lines of the streets. The inscription on the right-hand side suggests that this was a study made on October 29 and 30, 1893. Breitner was known for his urban landscapes and his depictions of Amsterdam, so this sketch is a valuable insight into his working process.
