Hoofd van een paard 1872 - 1878

"Hoofd van een paard" (Head of a Horse) is a pencil drawing created by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner between 1872 and 1878. The artwork is a study of a horse's head, showcasing Breitner's mastery of detail and his interest in capturing the essence of his subjects. The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, exhibits a minimalist approach, focusing on the horse's profile and the intricate details of its bridle. This piece, measuring 480 mm in height and 330 mm in width, is a testament to Breitner's early artistic explorations and his ability to create evocative imagery through simple lines and subtle shading.
