Hond 1907

"Hond" (Dog) is a 1907 pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, known for his Impressionist and realist depictions of daily life in Amsterdam. The sketch, housed in the Rijksmuseum, likely captures a moment of observation, conveying the artist's fascination with everyday subjects through a quick and gestural style. The simplicity of the drawing highlights Breitner's ability to capture a dog's form and movement with minimal lines and subtle shading. This work exemplifies Breitner's artistic exploration of urban life and his adeptness at capturing fleeting moments with a keen eye for detail.
