Annotaties c. 1895 - 1898

"Annotaties" (c. 1895 - 1898) by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner is an example of a sketchbook page filled with preliminary sketches and notes. The artwork, held by the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Breitner's creative process, showcasing his use of graphite and his exploration of composition and perspective. This type of artistic documentation is valuable for understanding the artist's working methods and provides insight into the development of his finished works. The casual and unrefined nature of the sketches underscores the inherent spontaneity of artistic exploration.
