Twee landschappen 1884 - 1886

"Twee landschappen" (Two Landscapes), an 1884-1886 charcoal drawing by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, is a striking example of his early work. The composition features two distinct landscapes depicted in contrasting tones, one light and one dark, with subtle lines creating depth and texture. The use of charcoal and the minimalist approach demonstrate Breitner's mastery of the medium, capturing the essence of the landscapes through simplified forms. This work is housed in the Rijksmuseum, providing insight into Breitner's development as a leading figure in the Dutch Impressionist movement.
