Gezicht in Amsterdam met een wolkenlucht 1886 - 1903

"Gezicht in Amsterdam met een wolkenlucht" (View of Amsterdam with a Cloudy Sky) is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1886 and 1903. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a fleeting view of Amsterdam, with a focus on the sky and its clouds. Breitner, known for his depictions of daily life in Amsterdam, captures the city's atmosphere through loose, expressive strokes, emphasizing the dynamic movement of the clouds. The drawing's sketchy quality, characteristic of his style, invites the viewer to participate in the creative process, imagining the complete scene from the artist's fleeting observation.
