Gezicht op een straat, mogelijk in Amsterdam 1886 - 1908

"Gezicht op een straat, mogelijk in Amsterdam" is a simple, yet evocative pencil sketch by the Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, a leading figure in the Hague School. Dated between 1886 and 1908, the artwork captures the essence of a street scene, possibly in Amsterdam, through swift and expressive lines. The sketch is characterized by a focus on capturing the atmosphere and mood of the place rather than rendering precise details, creating a sense of immediacy and spontaneity. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this piece reveals Breitner's talent for capturing the urban landscape and its everyday life.
