This small, 1893 sketch book by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner (1857-1923) is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The cover of the book is a simple, black-bound agenda with a faint, embossed lettering of the word "Agenda". This object demonstrates how Breitner, known for his realism and urban landscapes, utilized his sketchbook as a tool for capturing the essence of his daily life and artistic inspiration.
