Landschap met een boerderij 1884 - 1886

"Landschap met een boerderij" is a charcoal sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1884 and 1886. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, the sketch depicts a preliminary study for a larger painting, likely a landscape scene with a farmhouse. The loose, gestural lines and fragmented composition hint at Breitner's fascination with capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life in a quick and expressive manner. This work exemplifies Breitner's skill in using charcoal to create a sense of depth and atmosphere, highlighting his talent for rendering both the built environment and the natural world.
