Landschap en bebouwing 1880 - 1882

"Landschap en bebouwing" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dated 1880-1882, and currently located in the Rijksmuseum. Breitner is known for his urban landscapes, often depicting the bustling streets of Amsterdam. This sketch, however, captures a more serene scene, possibly a countryside landscape, with a subtle emphasis on the structure of buildings in the distance. The light, gestural strokes of the artist reveal the quick study of the scene, offering a glimpse into Breitner's artistic process.
