Vrouwen op de Dam in Amsterdam 1893

This is a preliminary sketch by the Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner titled "Vrouwen op de Dam in Amsterdam" or "Women on the Dam in Amsterdam". It depicts a lively scene in the Dutch capital, most likely during the 19th century. The sketch, executed in graphite on paper, demonstrates the artist's masterful use of lines and shading to capture the bustling energy of the city's central square, providing a glimpse into Breitner's artistic process and the visual dynamism of his mature works.
