Wachtende paarden 1867 - 1923

"Wachtende paarden" (Waiting Horses) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner. Created between 1867 and 1923, the artwork depicts a quick sketch of two horses standing in an urban setting, likely Amsterdam, where Breitner was known to capture daily life. The loose, gestural lines capture the essence of the scene, highlighting the dynamism of the horses and the city. This drawing exemplifies Breitner's focus on capturing the fleeting moments of modern life, a recurring theme in his oeuvre. Today, the piece resides in the Rijksmuseum, showcasing Breitner's keen eye for capturing urban life.
