"Gezicht in Amsterdam" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1886 and 1903. Breitner's sketches, often depicting Amsterdam scenes, are known for their quick and gestural lines. This particular work captures a street view, with buildings and trees suggested through loose and expressive strokes. The sketch, which is housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Breitner's artistic process and his keen observation of urban life in Amsterdam.
