Bomen 1881 - 1883

"Bomen" (Trees), created between 1881 and 1883 by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, is a pencil drawing housed in the Rijksmuseum. The work exhibits a simple composition, focusing on the delicate lines of a cluster of trees. The minimal detail, almost a suggestion of form, allows the viewer to appreciate the inherent beauty of nature. Breitner, known for his urban scenes and depictions of daily life, demonstrates an interest in capturing the essence of nature in this study, highlighting his skill in capturing light and form through subtle lines.
