Studie, mogelijk van schepen Possibly 1882 - 1886

"Studie, mogelijk van schepen" is a sketch by George Hendrik Breitner, a Dutch painter known for his depictions of Amsterdam life. This preliminary drawing, likely created between 1882 and 1886, is a study for a larger artwork. The fragmented lines and loose composition suggest a quick, spontaneous approach, typical of Breitner's working process. The sketch's subject is unclear, but the title hints at ships, possibly reflecting the artist's interest in the urban landscape and maritime activity of his time. It is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, offering a glimpse into the creative process of a prominent Dutch artist.
