Gezicht op gebouwen 1881 - 1883

"Gezicht op gebouwen" is a pencil sketch on paper by George Hendrik Breitner, dating from 1881 to 1883. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a perspective view of a building with a sloping roof and a tall chimney. Breitner, known for his urban scenes and masterful use of light, likely created this study as a preparatory sketch for a larger work. The detail and gestural lines of the sketch highlight Breitner's talent for capturing the essence of the built environment.
