Stadsgezicht met water c. 1903

"Stadsgezicht met water" (Cityscape with Water) is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created around 1903. This loose, gestural drawing captures the urban landscape of Amsterdam, likely along one of its canals. Breitner was known for his depictions of everyday life in the city, often emphasizing movement and atmosphere through his loose brushstrokes. The quick, suggestive lines and the absence of detail give the work a sense of immediacy and spontaneity, revealing Breitner's keen eye for the fleeting moments of city life. The Rijksmuseum holds the sketch today.
