Studie, mogelijk van een gebouw 1893

This study, likely of a building, is a graphite sketch on paper by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dated 1893. The work is housed in the Rijksmuseum. Although the subject is uncertain, Breitner's quick, gestural strokes and the composition suggest a focus on capturing the essence of a building, perhaps in Amsterdam, where he is best known for his depictions of urban life. These preliminary sketches are characteristic of Breitner's artistic process, reflecting his keen observation and interest in the details of the built environment.
