Studie, mogelijk van een boot in een gracht 1886 - 1923

This graphite drawing, titled "Studie, mogelijk van een boot in een gracht", was created by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner between 1886 and 1923. It depicts a boat in a canal, captured in a loose, gestural style characteristic of Breitner's later work. The composition is a quick sketch, emphasizing the fleeting moment and the artist's direct observation of the scene. Now held in the Rijksmuseum, the drawing is a small piece measuring just 127 mm by 137 mm, yet it offers a glimpse into Breitner's fascination with the everyday life of Amsterdam.
