Studie, mogelijk van een landschap 1883

This graphite sketch titled "Studie, mogelijk van een landschap" by George Hendrik Breitner is an example of a preliminary study for a larger work. Executed in 1883, the drawing depicts a landscape scene, possibly of a river or canal, captured with loose, gestural lines and subtle shading. While the subject is barely discernible, the sketch's focus is on capturing the essence of the scene's atmosphere and composition. This preliminary study demonstrates Breitner's process of observation and exploration, as he sought to understand the interplay of light and form in the landscape.
