Gezicht in Amsterdam met een kraan, waarschijnlijk de Prinseneilandsgracht 1907 - 1909

"Gezicht in Amsterdam met een kraan, waarschijnlijk de Prinseneilandsgracht" (View in Amsterdam with a Crane, Probably the Prinseneilandsgracht) is a sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1907 and 1909. Breitner, known for his energetic and impressionistic style, captured the essence of Amsterdam's urban landscape in this work. The sketch, executed in black pencil, depicts a view of a canal with a crane, likely the Prinseneilandsgracht, a picturesque waterway in the city. The loose and gestural lines suggest a fleeting glimpse of the scene, a hallmark of Breitner's artistic approach. This work is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, providing a glimpse into the artistic process of one of Amsterdam's most celebrated artists.
