This preliminary sketch, "Gezicht op het Spaarne te Haarlem met de Sint-Bavokerk en figuurstudies", was created by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner around 1903. A master of capturing the bustling atmosphere of Amsterdam, Breitner's quick, gestural lines in this sketch suggest movement and the passing scene. The composition is centered on the Sint-Bavokerk, a prominent Haarlem landmark, with the Spaarne river flowing in the foreground. This study reveals Breitner's process, showing how he built up his signature style with minimal lines and rapid strokes.
