Brug over de Elandsgracht 1867 - 1923

"Brug over de Elandsgracht" is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, completed between 1867 and 1923. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this piece depicts a bridge over the Elandsgracht canal in Amsterdam, showcasing Breitner's signature style of capturing urban life through a dynamic and expressive use of lines. The drawing's loose and gestural lines convey a sense of movement and energy, characteristic of his Impressionist leanings. The artist's keen observation of the city's architectural details and the dynamic interplay of light and shadow are evident in this intricate and atmospheric artwork.
