Paard c. 1902 - 1914

"Paard" (Horse) is a graphite sketch on paper by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created sometime between 1902 and 1914. This quick sketch, likely made from life, displays Breitner's skill in capturing movement and form with minimal lines. The horse is depicted in a dynamic pose, its head slightly lowered as if in motion, suggesting a sense of energy and vitality. The piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to Breitner's significant contributions to Dutch art.
