Nieuwe Kerk bij maanlicht, gezien vanaf de Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal c. 1894

This charcoal sketch by George Hendrik Breitner is a quick impression of a view of the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam, as seen from the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal. Created around 1894, this work captures the essence of the artist's signature style, employing loose and gestural lines to convey a sense of atmosphere and fleeting moment. Breitner, known for his urban scenes, often used the immediacy of the sketch to document his observations of the city, especially the interplay of light and shadow.
