Gezicht op gebouwen 1893 - 1898

This graphite drawing by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, titled "Gezicht op gebouwen", depicts a simple yet evocative view of buildings. Created between 1893 and 1898, the sketch captures a moment in the artist's ongoing exploration of urban landscapes, showcasing his ability to convey atmosphere and form with minimal lines. The drawing's loose and gestural quality reflects the artist's keen observation of the city's architecture and the fleeting nature of light and shadow. Currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, the work is a testament to Breitner's mastery of the sketch as a medium for capturing the essence of his surroundings.
