Gezicht op het Damrak te Amsterdam 1910

"Gezicht op het Damrak te Amsterdam," a 1910 work by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, is a sketch of Amsterdam’s Damrak canal. Breitner, known for his urban scenes, captured the energy of the city through loose, gestural lines. This sketch, part of his sketchbook, shows Breitner’s quick, spontaneous style and his interest in the dynamic interplay of light and shadow in an urban setting. The work is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the artistic process of one of the Netherlands’ most prominent Impressionist painters.
