"Gezicht in Amsterdam" is a pencil sketch on paper by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner. It was created between 1886 and 1908 and is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection. The sketch is a quick study of a view of Amsterdam. Breitner is known for his depictions of the bustling city life of Amsterdam in the late 19th century. He often captured everyday scenes with a sense of movement and energy. This sketch, though simple in its composition, shows the artist's ability to capture the essence of a place with few lines.
