Gezicht op een gebouw, mogelijk een boerderij 1881 - 1883

This simple, but evocative pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dated 1881–1883, depicts a building, possibly a farmhouse, seen from a distance. Breitner's loose and expressive lines capture the essence of the building's form, while the soft shading creates a sense of depth and atmosphere. This sketch, now held in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Breitner's artistic eye for detail and his ability to convey a sense of place through minimal means. The work is characteristic of Breitner’s early style, known for his focus on everyday scenes and the architecture of his surroundings.
