Gezicht op de Krom Boomssloot in Amsterdam 1898 - 1902

This preliminary sketch, titled “Gezicht op de Krom Boomssloot in Amsterdam”, was created by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner between 1898 and 1902. The graphite drawing, likely made on location, depicts a scene of the Krom Boomssloot canal in Amsterdam. It is a quickly rendered composition, suggestive of the artist’s immediate observation. This artwork currently resides at the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into Breitner’s creative process and the beauty of Amsterdam's urban landscape.
