Bebouwing c. 1880 - 1906

"Bebouwing" is a charcoal sketch on paper by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dating from circa 1880 to 1906. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures a quick and gestural impression of a cityscape. Breitner's characteristic loose lines and emphasis on light and shadow are evident in the sketch, which demonstrates the artist's mastery of capturing a fleeting moment. "Bebouwing" is a compelling example of Breitner's artistic practice and his interest in capturing the urban landscape.
