Twee schepen, mogelijk schuiten c. 1898 - 1914

"Twee schepen, mogelijk schuiten" is a graphite sketch by the Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dating back to 1898-1914. The sketch depicts two boats, possibly barges, on a canal. The composition is simple, with the boats filling most of the space, and is characteristic of Breitner's quick, gestural style. This is a typical example of his work, characterized by a focus on everyday life and urban landscapes. The drawing currently resides in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, where it provides a glimpse into Breitner's artistic process and his fascination with the waterways of the Netherlands.
