Boer achter een ploeg 1884 - 1886

"Boer achter een ploeg" is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1884 and 1886. The sketch captures a farmer working in the field, possibly a study for a larger composition. Breitner's use of expressive lines and dynamic composition suggests the movement and effort involved in plowing, characteristic of his style during this period. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, this drawing offers insight into Breitner's artistic process and his interest in capturing the everyday lives of ordinary people.
