Landschap, mogelijk een duinlandschap 1881 - 1883

This pencil sketch, "Landschap, mogelijk een duinlandschap," by George Hendrik Breitner, is a quick study of a landscape, likely dunes. The loose lines and simple forms are characteristic of Breitner's sketches, capturing the essence of the scene without detailed rendering. The artist, known for his plein air paintings, often used sketches like this to record his observations and create reference material for later works. This piece, dating from 1881-1883, provides a glimpse into Breitner's working process and his fascination with the natural world. The sketch is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering insight into the artist's early career and the development of his signature style.
