Annotaties 1887 - 1891

This piece, “Annotaties,” is a page from a sketchbook kept by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner between 1887 and 1891. This sketchbook is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The page displays a collection of hand-written notes in Breitner’s hand. Breitner was known for his attention to detail and urban landscapes, so the annotations are likely notes about people or locations from his time. This glimpse into the artist's process provides a unique window into the mind of the painter.
