Paarden 1884 - 1886

"Paarden," a charcoal sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, is a fleeting glimpse into the artist's process. Created between 1884 and 1886, the artwork showcases Breitner's signature style, characterized by loose, expressive strokes. The seemingly abstract lines hint at a composition, potentially depicting horses, as the title suggests. This preliminary sketch offers a rare look into Breitner's creative exploration, revealing the immediacy and energy of his artistic vision. The artwork is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection, providing art enthusiasts with a unique window into Breitner's creative process.
