Schetsboek met 37 bladen 1880 - 1882

This sketchbook, created by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner between 1880 and 1882, is a fascinating glimpse into the artist's creative process. Housed in the Rijksmuseum, this small, unassuming object showcases the artist's use of a rough canvas-like surface for his sketches, visible in the texture of the cover. The cover, despite its worn and faded appearance, remains an interesting artifact of Breitner's artistic journey and a testament to the enduring power of everyday objects.
