Schetsboek met 9 bladen 1886 - 1923

This sketchbook by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, housed at the Rijksmuseum, contains nine pages of sketches created between 1886 and 1923. Though the pages themselves are blank, the cover reveals the wear and tear of time, with a faded brown hue and scattered spots, giving an insight into the artist's personal creative process. The sketchbook, a testament to the artist's practice, showcases the evolution of his style and offers a glimpse into his artistic journey. This artifact, measuring 256 mm in height, 342 mm in width, and 5 mm in thickness, provides a unique perspective on Breitner's artistic development and the nature of artistic expression.
