Landschap met wolkenlucht 1883 - 1885

"Landschap met wolkenlucht" (Landscape with Cloudy Sky) is a preliminary sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dating back to 1883-1885. The drawing, held at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a landscape with a cloudy sky. The artist's distinctive quick, gestural lines capture the movement of clouds and the horizon in a minimalist style, demonstrating his exploration of light and atmosphere. This preliminary study likely served as a preparation for a larger finished painting.
