Gezicht op het water bij een pier in Amsterdam 1875

This simple pencil sketch, titled "Gezicht op het water bij een pier in Amsterdam" by George Clausen, depicts a pier extending into a body of water. The image is rendered in a gestural style with loose, sketchy lines capturing the essence of the scene. The artist, a renowned British painter, was known for his landscapes and depictions of everyday life, and this quick sketch captures the essence of an Amsterdam harbor. The piece, likely created as a quick study, is characteristic of Clausen's sensitive observation and refined rendering of nature and man-made structures.
