This sketchbook, created in 1917 by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, showcases the artist's personal creative process. While the cover itself is not a finished artwork, it offers insight into Breitner's working methods and his exploration of visual forms. The worn and textured surface, reminiscent of old leather, hints at the artist's dedication to capturing the nuances of everyday life. Breitner, known for his realistic portrayals of urban scenes, often used sketchbooks to record his observations, making this artifact a valuable glimpse into the mind of a master artist.
