This is a sketch book created by the Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner sometime between 1907 and 1911. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The cover of this small leather-bound sketchbook is made of a patterned material and shows signs of wear from use. The cover is a dark brown color with a black spine. Breitner was known for his realistic depictions of Dutch life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This sketch book likely contains preliminary sketches and drawings that the artist used to develop his final paintings.
