Landschap, mogelijk een kustgezicht, met wolkenlucht 1884 - 1886

This charcoal sketch titled "Landschap, mogelijk een kustgezicht, met wolkenlucht" (Landscape, possibly a coastal view, with cloudy sky), was created by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner between 1884 and 1886. The artwork, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcases Breitner's preliminary exploration of a potential landscape composition, evident in the loose and gestural lines of the drawing. The artist's focus on capturing the essence of light and atmosphere through simple, yet expressive strokes is characteristic of his style.
