Sleepboot in een gracht c. 1886 - 1923

"Sleepboot in een gracht" is a graphite drawing by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dated c. 1886-1923. The work depicts a simple street scene in Amsterdam, a subject frequently explored by Breitner. The sketch captures the essence of daily life in the city, with a figure walking towards a canal. The loose, expressive lines and the minimal detail evoke a sense of movement and fleeting observation. This drawing, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases Breitner's mastery of capturing the urban environment.
