"Compositiestudies en een boot" is a collection of preliminary sketches by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1881 and 1883. These quick, gestural drawings, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcase Breitner's evolving style and his fascination with capturing the essence of urban scenes. The composition features multiple studies of figures, possibly street scenes, and a single, distinct sketch of a boat, hinting at Breitner's interest in exploring different perspectives and compositions. This work offers a glimpse into the creative process of a prominent Dutch artist and provides insight into his artistic development during this period.
