Landschap met bebouwing 1886 - 1908

"Landschap met bebouwing" is a pencil sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, dated between 1886 and 1908. Currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, the sketch depicts a landscape with buildings, executed in a loose and gestural style. The quick lines and subtle shading suggest a fleeting moment captured by the artist's keen eye. Breitner, renowned for his urban scenes and capturing the dynamism of modern life, used this sketch as a preliminary study, likely for a more finished painting. The artwork offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his interest in the interplay of architecture and nature.
