Aangemeerde boot c. 1903

This is a quick sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, created around 1903. "Aangemeerde boot," meaning "Moored Boat," is a simple pencil drawing that captures the essence of a boat tied to a dock, likely in Amsterdam. Breitner is known for his impressionistic style, which uses loose strokes to depict the fleeting moments of everyday life. The sketch's focus on the boat's form, the dock, and the surrounding water, suggests an interest in capturing the interplay of light and shadow. This drawing is a study for a larger painting, and illustrates Breitner's creative process.
