Paardentram met twee figuren c. 1900 - 1901

This is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, titled "Paardentram met twee figuren" (Horse Tram with Two Figures). Dated c. 1900-1901, this artwork captures a fleeting moment of urban life in Amsterdam. Breitner is known for his dynamic depictions of the city, often incorporating the use of light and shadow to create a sense of immediacy. The sketch's quick, gestural lines suggest a sense of movement and capture the essence of the scene. The horse-drawn tram and the figures within are barely sketched, highlighting Breitner's focus on capturing the energy and dynamism of his subject rather than meticulous detail.
