Boerderij c. 1880 - 1906

"Boerderij" (Farmhouse) is a charcoal drawing on paper by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1880 and 1906 and now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork is a preliminary sketch, capturing the essence of a farmhouse with loose, gestural lines. Breitner is known for his expressive and dynamic style, evident in the quick strokes and fragmented composition. This sketch, while unfinished, offers a glimpse into Breitner's artistic process and his fascination with capturing the fleeting moments of daily life in his native Amsterdam.
