Breitner must have walked many a kilometre around Amsterdam at the turn of the century. The city was the painter’s working space. He filled his sketchbook with drawings of what he saw in the streets, and photographed literally everything he came upon. Amsterdam is shrouded in mist in this atmospheric image of a boy and a dog.
