Portret van een vrouw wandelend over de Prinsengracht in Amsterdam c. 1890 - 1910

This photograph, "Portret van een vrouw wandelend over de Prinsengracht in Amsterdam" by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, is a striking example of his urban realism. Taken sometime between 1890 and 1910, the image captures a woman walking along the Prinsengracht in Amsterdam, with the city's canals and traditional architecture in the background. The stark black and white composition emphasizes the starkness of urban life, while the focus on the woman in the foreground suggests a sense of both anonymity and individuality. This photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Breitner's keen eye for the details of daily life in Amsterdam and his unique ability to capture the city's atmosphere.
