"Katten en honden" (Cats and Dogs) is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dating back to the 1880s. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Breitner's skill in capturing movement and form with swift, expressive strokes. This quick sketch, likely a study for a larger work, reveals Breitner's interest in everyday life and the dynamic interactions between humans and animals, a recurring theme in his oeuvre.
