Dak 1886 - 1903

"Dak" is a graphite sketch on paper by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1886 and 1903. This quick study of a rooftop, likely in Amsterdam, demonstrates Breitner's mastery of capturing fleeting moments and architectural details. The minimalist style of the sketch is characteristic of Breitner's work, focusing on capturing the essence of his subject with precise lines. This artwork is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcasing the artist's exploration of urban landscapes and his contribution to the artistic movement of Impressionism.
