Gezicht op gebouwen 1917

"Gezicht op gebouwen" (View of Buildings) is a 1917 charcoal sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner. The work is a quick, gestural study of a cityscape. It is characterized by loose lines and a focus on capturing the essence of the scene rather than precise detail. The sketch is likely a preparatory study for a larger painting. This drawing highlights Breitner's ability to capture the atmosphere of a city with simple yet expressive strokes. The artwork is currently on view at the Rijksmuseum.
