Annotaties 1896

"Annotaties" (1896) by George Hendrik Breitner is a sketch of a blank page in a notebook. The faint pencil markings on the page suggest a preliminary study by the artist, perhaps for a larger painting or another work. Breitner, known for his realistic depictions of urban life in Amsterdam, often utilized sketchbooks to capture fleeting moments of daily life. This intimate piece, held at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the creative process of a renowned Dutch painter.
