Schepen aan de Binnenkant en de Oude Waal te Amsterdam c. 1894

"Schepen aan de Binnenkant en de Oude Waal te Amsterdam" is a charcoal sketch on paper by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created around 1894. The sketch is a quick study of the cityscape of Amsterdam, specifically focusing on ships and the Oude Waal canal, with a strong emphasis on lines and form. The loose and gestural style of the drawing is typical of Breitner's work and reflects his focus on capturing the fleeting moments of urban life. This sketch is part of Breitner’s larger body of work, highlighting his fascination with the bustling streets of Amsterdam, particularly the interplay of light and shadow. This work is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
