Gezicht op een gracht in Amsterdam, mogelijk de Reguliersgracht 1895 - 1898

This work by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner is a study of a canal in Amsterdam, likely the Reguliersgracht, which is located in the Rijksmuseum. The sketch, created between 1895 and 1898, showcases Breitner's distinctive style with its rapid, expressive lines. This study captures the essence of the canal, with its characteristic buildings and the sense of light and shadow, providing a glimpse into the artistic process behind the artist's finished works. The artwork is an example of Breitner's fascination with the urban landscape of Amsterdam, which he often depicted in his paintings and drawings.
