Annotaties c. 1894

This is a page from a sketchbook belonging to the Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner (1857-1923). The page is filled with quick sketches and notes, possibly made in preparation for a larger painting. It is likely from the period around 1894, a time when Breitner was known for his depictions of modern life in Amsterdam. The sketches suggest a focus on architectural details and figures, perhaps for an urban scene. "Annotaties" is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
