Perspectiefstudies 1880 - 1882

"Perspectiefstudies" is a sketchbook page by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dating from 1880-1882, and is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum. The page shows a series of sketches, primarily focused on perspective studies, done in pencil. The text on the page in Dutch is likely notes on the various geometrical exercises that Breitner was working through. These studies reveal the artist's meticulous approach to the representation of space and depth, a characteristic that would later define his mature work.
