Annotaties c. 1909

"Annotaties" (c. 1909) by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, currently in the Rijksmuseum, is a fascinating glimpse into the artist’s working process. The work is not a traditional painting but rather a page from Breitner’s notebook filled with handwritten notes and sketches. Breitner's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the careful annotations, which offer a peek into the artist's thought process as he planned and executed his artworks. The document showcases the importance of documentation for an artist, as well as providing an intriguing window into Breitner's creative process. This work is particularly relevant for art historians and those interested in the creative process of artists.
