Gezicht op een straat in Amsterdam 1893 - 1894

"Gezicht op een straat in Amsterdam" (View of a Street in Amsterdam), a charcoal sketch by George Hendrik Breitner from 1893-1894, is a fleeting impression of a bustling Amsterdam street. Breitner's signature quick, gestural lines capture the energy and movement of the scene, with blurred figures and buildings suggesting the swift pace of urban life. The sketch, housed in the Rijksmuseum, embodies Breitner's interest in capturing the modern city through his distinctive style.
