About the piece
Captured around 1901, this work by George Hendrik Breitner depicts the Prinsengracht at the Lauriergracht in Amsterdam. Breitner, a leading figure of Dutch Impressionism, utilizes a somber, muted palette of browns and ochres to evoke the quiet, damp atmosphere of the city’s historic waterways.
