Gezicht op huizen aan de Brouwersgracht te Amsterdam c. 1906 - 1923

This pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, titled "Gezicht op huizen aan de Brouwersgracht te Amsterdam," depicts a row of traditional canal houses in Amsterdam, likely along the Brouwersgracht. The artist's signature style, characterized by bold, expressive strokes, is evident in this preliminary study, creating a dynamic composition. Breitner, known for his urban landscapes, often captured the essence of Amsterdam's architecture, capturing the characteristic gables and facades of the city. This drawing, dated between 1906 and 1923, exemplifies his artistic development and keen observation of architectural details. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, this work provides insight into the artist's creative process and his deep connection with the city of Amsterdam.
