Gebouwen c. 1885 - 1898

"Gebouwen" (Buildings) is a pencil sketch on paper by the Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1885 and 1898. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, likely depicts a scene from Breitner's daily life in Amsterdam, showcasing his interest in architectural details and urban landscapes. Though a quick sketch, it captures the essence of the city's structures through loose lines and subtle shading. Breitner is known for his Impressionistic style, which is evident in the sketch's spontaneity and focus on light and shadow.
