This charcoal sketch, "Gezicht op de Nieuwe Kerk te Amsterdam bij avond," is a quick study by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner. The artist was known for his cityscapes of Amsterdam. Created between 1886 and 1903, it captures a view of the Nieuwe Kerk, a famous church in Amsterdam, at night. The sketch, characterized by loose, gestural lines, is indicative of the artist's quick and impressionistic approach. It is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
