Kar in een landschap 1887 - 1891

This pencil sketch, titled "Kar in een landschap" (Cart in a landscape), is a preliminary study by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1887 and 1891. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Breitner’s creative process. It captures the essence of a rural scene through the simple lines of a cart and surrounding landscape, highlighting the artist’s focus on capturing the essence of everyday life in the Dutch countryside. The loose, gestural lines and the implied movement of the cart convey a sense of dynamism, characteristic of Breitner's later works.
