Gezicht in Amsterdam c. 1914s

"Gezicht in Amsterdam" (c. 1914s) is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner. The drawing, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, captures the essence of Amsterdam's urban landscape, with its characteristic canal houses. The loose and expressive lines of Breitner's sketch depict the facade of a building, partially obscured by bare tree branches, highlighting the artist's keen observation of his surroundings. The work demonstrates Breitner's signature style, known for its bold strokes and emphasis on light and shadow.
