Paarden bij een voederbak 1881 - 1883

"Paarden bij een voederbak" (Horses at a Feeding Trough) is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1881 and 1883. The sketch, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a group of horses gathered around a trough, capturing a fleeting moment in their daily routine. The loose, gestural lines suggest a rapid execution, characteristic of Breitner's style, which often focused on the dynamism of urban life. This piece offers a glimpse into the artist's working process and his fascination with capturing movement and light.
