Paard 1890 - 1946

"Paard" is a simple yet expressive pencil drawing of a horse by Dutch artist Cornelis Vreedenburgh, housed in the Rijksmuseum. Created between 1890 and 1946, the sketch captures the essence of the animal with minimal lines, highlighting Vreedenburgh's talent for capturing movement and form. The horse is depicted in a dynamic pose, its legs outstretched and head tilted, suggesting a moment of action or repose. This drawing is a prime example of Vreedenburgh's keen observation and skill in conveying the natural beauty of his subjects.
