Gezicht op een straat 1881 - 1883

"Gezicht op een straat" (View of a Street), a preliminary drawing by George Hendrik Breitner from 1881-1883, showcases the artist's signature style of capturing fleeting urban moments. The quick, gestural lines and sparse shading evoke a sense of movement and immediacy. This sketch, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, reflects Breitner's fascination with the dynamism of city life, a recurring theme in his later works.
