Figuren op het Rokin in Amsterdam, gezien vanuit de Bodega 1895 - 1898

This is a preliminary sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1895 and 1898. Titled "Figuren op het Rokin in Amsterdam, gezien vanuit de Bodega," this drawing is an example of Breitner's characteristic style, known for its quick lines and emphasis on capturing the energy of everyday life in Amsterdam. It likely depicts the bustling Rokin street, a central thoroughfare in the city, viewed from the perspective of a bodega. The sketch's loose lines and gestural quality give a sense of movement, reflecting the dynamic nature of urban life in the late 19th century.
