Gezicht in Amsterdam 1896

"Gezicht in Amsterdam" (1896) is a charcoal sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner. The sketch, housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a view of buildings in Amsterdam, a common subject for the artist. The rough strokes of charcoal convey a sense of immediacy and capture the essence of the city's architecture. Breitner's distinct style, often characterized by dynamic lines and bold contrasts, is evident in this small-scale work. The sketch likely served as a preparatory study for a larger painting, showcasing Breitner's process and fascination with capturing the urban landscape.
