Studie, mogelijk van een landschap met bebouwing 1886 - 1923

This charcoal sketch, possibly depicting a landscape with buildings, is a study by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner. Created between 1886 and 1923, it is a fleeting glimpse into the artist's creative process. The loose lines and charcoal smudges convey a sense of spontaneity, capturing the essence of the subject rather than meticulously rendering details. Breitner's signature style is evident in the sketch, characterized by bold strokes and a focus on capturing the atmosphere and light of his surroundings. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, providing a valuable insight into the artistic vision of one of the Netherlands' most celebrated artists.
