Stadsgezicht met een brug, mogelijk in Amsterdam c. 1915 - 1916

This is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created around 1915-1916. It is a quick and gestural study, likely made on location, and depicts a cityscape with a bridge. The loose lines and minimal detail capture the essence of the scene, conveying a sense of immediacy. As a well-known painter of urban scenes, especially in Amsterdam, Breitner’s work is known for its evocative portrayal of everyday life and the dynamism of the city. The drawing, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a glimpse into the artist’s creative process and his fascination with the changing landscape of the city.
