Gevels, mogelijk in Amsterdam c. 1914s

"Gevels, mogelijk in Amsterdam" (Facades, Possibly in Amsterdam) is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner. Dated to the 1910s, it shows quick, expressive strokes that capture the essence of urban architecture. Breitner, known for his urban landscapes and atmospheric scenes, used his characteristic bold lines and hatched shading in this piece. It is a typical example of his artistic style, and it is a testament to his ability to convey a sense of place and energy in a few quick strokes. Currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, this work offers a glimpse into Breitner's creative process and his appreciation for the cityscape.
