Gezicht op de sloop van gebouwen op de Dam te Amsterdam c. 1903

This quick sketch by George Hendrik Breitner, titled "Gezicht op de sloop van gebouwen op de Dam te Amsterdam", is a glimpse into the artist's process. Dated around 1903, the drawing captures the demolition of buildings on Amsterdam's Dam square. Breitner's loose and gestural lines suggest the energy and movement of the scene, with a focus on the architectural details of the remaining structures. The sketch is a powerful example of Breitner's ability to capture the essence of a scene through a few simple strokes. This artwork, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a unique glimpse into the artist's approach and a snapshot of Amsterdam's urban landscape in the early 20th century.
