Studieblad met een kar, schoorstenen en hijsblokken 1880 - 1882

"Studie blad met een kar, schoorstenen en hijsblokken" is a study drawing by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dating back to 1880-1882. This preliminary sketch, housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the essence of a cityscape scene. The drawing depicts a cart, possibly in a bustling market area, alongside chimneys and hoisting blocks, offering a glimpse into the urban life of 19th-century Amsterdam. This quick sketch demonstrates Breitner's keen observation and his ability to capture the dynamism of everyday life through simple lines and textures. The work is an example of his early artistic development and a key piece for understanding his later, more finished cityscapes.
