Huizen langs een weg met kale bomen c. 1873 - 1886

"Huizen langs een weg met kale bomen" (Houses along a road with bare trees) is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1873 and 1886. The piece, which is now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a street lined with houses and bare trees. The simple yet evocative lines of the drawing capture a sense of quiet observation, typical of Breitner's early work. The artist's use of perspective, and the focus on the details of the trees and buildings, create a sense of depth and realism, despite the sketch's small size.
