Boten 1912

"Boten," a 1912 sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, is housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts a simple drawing of a boat, rendered in pencil on paper. Breitner's sketch captures the essence of the boat, with its long, slender form and the slight details of its structure. The artist's use of line and tone creates a sense of movement and energy. The sketch is an interesting example of Breitner's approach to capturing the details of everyday life in his art. The image of the boat highlights Breitner's skills as a draftsman and reveals his fascination with the natural world.
