Huis, verscholen tussen bomen 1881 - 1883

"Huis, verscholen tussen bomen" (House Hidden Amongst Trees), a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, captures a fleeting moment of a house concealed within a thicket of trees. Created between 1881 and 1883, the artwork is a preliminary study, characterized by loose, gestural lines and a sense of immediacy. It reveals Breitner's keen eye for capturing the subtle details of nature and the essence of a hidden dwelling, a theme that would later appear in his more finished paintings. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this sketch offers insight into the artistic process of this renowned Dutch painter.
