Bomen 1881 - 1883

"Bomen" (Trees) is a pencil drawing on paper by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dated 1881-1883. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Breitner's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the delicate beauty of nature. The simple composition features a few slender trees, their branches and leaves rendered with meticulous precision, against a pale background, reminiscent of a sketch study, revealing the artist's process and observation of the natural world. This study of trees, a recurring subject in Breitner's work, exemplifies his early artistic style.
