Gezicht op gebouwen aan het water 1880 - 1882

This pencil sketch, "Gezicht op gebouwen aan het water" (View of buildings on the water), created between 1880-1882 by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, is a preliminary study for a larger work. It depicts a waterfront scene, likely in Amsterdam, with a focus on the architecture and the reflective quality of the water. Breitner was known for his urban scenes and his exploration of light and atmosphere. This quick sketch, likely made on location, captures the essence of the scene in a few lines.
