Aangemeerde boten 1880 - 1882

"Aangemeerde Boten" is a pencil sketch by George Hendrik Breitner, a Dutch painter known for his realistic depictions of urban life. Created between 1880 and 1882, this preliminary study likely served as preparation for a larger painting. Breitner’s characteristically bold and dynamic lines capture the essence of moored boats, suggesting movement and the interplay of light and shadow. This sketch is housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering insight into the creative process of a prominent Dutch artist.
