Paarden in een landschap, mogelijk duinen 1881 - 1883

"Paarden in een landschap, mogelijk duinen" is a preliminary sketch by the Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dating from 1881-1883. The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, shows a horse in a landscape, likely dunes, rendered in loose lines and gestural strokes. This informal study exemplifies Breitner’s early exploration of natural forms, a hallmark of his artistic development. The sketch's simplicity highlights the artist's ability to capture the essence of a subject through quick observation.
