Landschap met een boot in het water 1880 - 1882

This pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, titled "Landschap met een boot in het water," is a quick study of a landscape with a boat on water, likely a canal or river. It is a preliminary sketch, characterized by loose lines and minimal detail. The work, dated between 1880 and 1882, demonstrates Breitner's interest in capturing the essence of a scene through gestural marks, typical of his plein air approach. This sketch is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to the importance of even preliminary works in understanding the artistic process of a renowned artist.
