This is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner from 1912, titled *Gezicht op het Rokin te Amsterdam bij het Beurspoortje*. It is a quick study of the Rokin in Amsterdam, a canal that runs through the heart of the city, captured in the artist's signature style. Breitner is best known for his urban landscapes and scenes of everyday life in Amsterdam, often capturing the energy and dynamism of the city. The sketch depicts the architecture along the canal and uses quick lines and hatching to suggest volume and depth. This is a typical example of Breitner's urban sketches, often executed in a spontaneous manner, reflecting his observational skills and love for the cityscape.
