Bebouwing, mogelijk aan het water 1886 - 1898

This charcoal sketch, "Bebouwing, mogelijk aan het water", was created by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner between 1886 and 1898. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a study in perspective and light, featuring a composition of buildings and possible water. Breitner's gestural brushstrokes, visible even in the medium of charcoal, contribute to the evocative and atmospheric quality of the piece. The sketchy, almost impressionistic quality of this work reflects the artist's exploration of urban landscapes and his interest in capturing the fleeting moments of daily life.
