Twee aangespannen paarden 1881 - 1927

"Twee aangespannen paarden" is a charcoal sketch by Dutch artist Johan Antonie de Jonge, dated between 1881 and 1927. This expressive work depicts a dynamic scene of two horses in motion, likely captured from life. De Jonge's loose, gestural lines suggest the powerful energy of the animals, highlighting their musculature and movement. While the subject matter is traditional for animal studies, the sketch's loose and expressive style hints at the burgeoning influence of Impressionism on the artist's work. This piece offers a glimpse into de Jonge's artistic process and his keen observation of nature.
