Twee gezichten in Amsterdam c. 1903

"Twee gezichten in Amsterdam" is a pencil sketch on paper by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created around 1903. The sketch, housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the essence of Amsterdam’s cityscape with its swift, gestural lines. Breitner’s interest in depicting the bustling streets of his hometown is evident in the sketch, which likely served as a quick study for a larger work. The simplicity of the lines and the unfinished nature of the sketch highlight the artist’s focus on capturing the energy and movement of everyday life in Amsterdam.
