Vrouw met hoed, mogelijk op de Dam te Amsterdam c. 1893s - 1903s

This is a quick sketch in charcoal by George Hendrik Breitner, a prominent Dutch painter known for his Amsterdam street scenes. The rough lines and unfinished composition suggest a fleeting impression captured on the spot, perhaps a study for a larger work. The title, "Vrouw met hoed, mogelijk op de Dam te Amsterdam," indicates the subject is a woman wearing a hat, possibly standing in Dam Square in Amsterdam. This intimate and spontaneous approach to the subject, characteristic of Breitner's artistic style, gives viewers a glimpse into the creative process of a master of Impressionism.
