Stadsgezicht c. 1915 - 1916

"Stadsgezicht," a c. 1915-1916 sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, is a simple yet evocative drawing of a city scene. Executed in pencil, the piece captures a snapshot of urban life with gestural lines and a focus on geometric shapes. The composition is dominated by a building, its form rendered with a mix of bold strokes and subtle details. Breitner's keen eye for the city is evident in this sketch, which exemplifies his ability to translate complex urban landscapes into simple, yet powerful visual statements. The sketch is currently located at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, offering a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his fascination with the urban environment.
