"Wolkenlucht boven land" is a graphite sketch on paper created by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner between 1886 and 1923. The sketch, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, features a simple yet evocative depiction of a landscape with clouds above. Breitner's loose, gestural lines capture the movement and form of the clouds and the terrain below, showcasing his keen observational skills and masterful use of light and shadow. This intimate study exemplifies Breitner's focus on capturing fleeting moments of nature.
