Huizen met hals- en tuitgevels in Amsterdam, gezien vanaf een brug 1886 - 1923

This pencil drawing, created by George Hendrik Breitner between 1886 and 1923, captures a fleeting moment in Amsterdam. The artist, known for his urban landscapes, uses gestural lines to depict the characteristic "hals-en-tuitgevels" (neck and spout gables) of Dutch houses, seen from a bridge. The composition, with its emphasis on the architecture and perspective, exemplifies Breitner's interest in capturing the dynamism of everyday life in the city. This sketch, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artist's working process and his keen observation of his surroundings.
