"Gezicht op de Wijde Kapelsteeg te Amsterdam" is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dating from roughly 1886 to 1903. This artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a typical Amsterdam alleyway, capturing the architecture and atmosphere of the city through quick, gestural strokes. Breitner was known for his depictions of daily life in Amsterdam, often using the city as a canvas for his exploration of light and shadow, making this a fine example of his urban realism style.
