Paard-en-wagen 1886 - 1923

"Paard-en-wagen" (Horse and Cart), a pencil sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, captures a simple yet striking scene. Created sometime between 1886 and 1923, the work showcases Breitner's characteristic quick, expressive lines, giving a sense of movement and immediacy to the subject. The faint lines depict a horse-drawn cart, with the horse's legs barely visible, creating a minimalist but impactful composition. This sketch, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Breitner's talent for capturing the essence of daily life in Amsterdam, his native city.
