Gezicht in Amsterdam, mogelijk het Rokin c. 1900 - 1923

"Gezicht in Amsterdam, mogelijk het Rokin" is a charcoal sketch on paper by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1900 and 1923. The work is a study for a larger painting, capturing a fleeting glimpse of the Rokin, a bustling street in Amsterdam. The loose and gestural lines suggest movement and energy, characteristic of Breitner's signature style, which often focused on capturing the dynamic life of Amsterdam. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, this sketch is a valuable example of Breitner's artistic process and his keen observation of everyday life.
