Figuur voor gebouwen, mogelijk in Amsterdam 1886 - 1908

This preliminary sketch by George Hendrik Breitner, dating from 1886-1908, depicts a possible view of Amsterdam. The loose lines and quick strokes of the pencil capture the artist's fleeting observations of the city's architecture. The work is housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering insight into Breitner's creative process and his fascination with the urban landscape. This drawing, part of a larger series of sketches, demonstrates Breitner's adeptness at capturing the essence of a scene with minimal detail.
