Zelfportret van George Hendrik Breitner met schets c. 1880 - 1923

This is a self-portrait of the Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, created sometime between 1880 and 1923. The work is a charcoal drawing, featuring the artist's head and shoulders, and a quick sketch of a cityscape on the right. Breitner is known for his realistic depictions of life in Amsterdam, particularly scenes of street life, and his use of strong chiaroscuro. The drawing captures the essence of the artist in a candid and expressive way, a quick and loose style that is characteristic of his work. The self-portrait is housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
