Gezicht op een steeg, mogelijk te Gent 1907 - 1909

"Gezicht op een steeg, mogelijk te Gent" is a pencil drawing created between 1907 and 1909 by the Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner. This work, currently located in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a narrow alleyway, possibly in Ghent, Belgium. The sketch is a testament to Breitner's interest in urban landscapes and his ability to capture the atmosphere of everyday life with expressive lines and light shading. The composition, focused on the perspective of the alleyway, highlights the architectural details of the buildings and the interplay of light and shadow. This drawing is a prime example of Breitner's signature style, which combines realism with an impressionistic sensibility.
