Stadsgezicht, mogelijk Gorinchem 1880 - 1882

"Stadsgezicht, mogelijk Gorinchem" is a pencil sketch by George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1880 and 1882. This piece, housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures a fleeting moment in the Dutch cityscape. The sketch's loose lines and quick strokes suggest a rapid and immediate observation, characteristic of Breitner's working methods. The artist's dynamic and expressive style is apparent in the energetic lines and suggestive forms, which build a sense of depth and movement. This work, a glimpse into the urban landscape of Breitner's time, offers insight into the artist's creative process and his keen eye for capturing the essence of his surroundings.
