Gezicht op het Rokin met een paardentram ter hoogte van Arti et Amicitiae te Amsterdam c. 1900 - 1901

This is a preliminary sketch for a larger painting by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, known for his urban scenes and dynamic compositions. Dating from around 1900, this charcoal drawing depicts a horse-drawn tram on the Rokin, a main street in Amsterdam, near the Arti et Amicitiae art society building. The sketch captures a fleeting moment, hinting at the energy and movement of city life at the turn of the century, a theme often explored in Breitner's mature works.
