Rij gebouwen en een gevel 1881 - 1883

This pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, titled "Rij gebouwen en een gevel", depicts a series of buildings and a facade. Created between 1881 and 1883, this work exemplifies Breitner's early fascination with urban landscapes and his masterful use of line and form. The sketch's raw, unpolished quality reflects the artist's process of observation and experimentation, capturing the essence of his subject in a series of quick, gestural strokes. This work is a prime example of the Impressionist movement, and the artist's unique style of urban sketching that would later become his signature.
