Grote poort van het Begijnhof te Amsterdam, gezien vanuit de Begijnhofsteeg c. 1906 - 1923

This is a sketch of the Grote poort, or Great Gate, of the Begijnhof, a historic courtyard in Amsterdam, drawn by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner. Completed between 1906 and 1923, the drawing depicts a narrow street, or "steeg," leading towards the gate. The perspective, which uses many lines to create a strong sense of depth, is characteristic of Breitner's style, which often focused on the everyday life of Amsterdam. Currently located in the Rijksmuseum, this sketch exemplifies Breitner's talent for capturing the essence of urban landscapes.
