Trampaard 1893

"Trampaard" is a sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created in 1893. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a fleeting moment captured in loose strokes of pencil on paper. The subject matter, likely a horse-drawn tram, is barely discernible through the artist's gestural lines. The work showcases Breitner's interest in capturing the movement and energy of urban life, a recurring theme in his oeuvre. This sketch, a glimpse into the creative process of a renowned Impressionist, offers a unique perspective on the artist's working methods.
