This is a sketch by the Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner titled "Trampaarden op de Dam te Amsterdam". The sketch is a study for a painting made in 1893, featuring the Dam Square in Amsterdam, likely depicting the horse-drawn trams. The sketch, executed in pencil on paper, is a study of light and shadow, with a focus on the movement of the horses and the structure of the trams. Breitner, renowned for his urban scenes, captured the dynamism of Amsterdam life in this preliminary sketch. This sketch, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the artistic process of a renowned artist.
