Gezicht te Antwerpen 1907 - 1909

"Gezicht te Antwerpen", a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, is a quick study of a street scene in Antwerp. Dating back to 1907-1909, the work shows Breitner's characteristic loose and expressive style, capturing the essence of the cityscape through simple lines and shading. This quick sketch, likely made during a plein air session, offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process, highlighting the spontaneity and dynamism of his artistic vision. The work is currently part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum, providing insight into the artist's fascination with urban life and his ability to capture its essence through minimal detail.
