Achterlijf van een dier c. 1900 - 1901

This pencil sketch, titled "Achterlijf van een dier," is a study by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1900 and 1901. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, displays a simple yet powerful depiction of the lower body of an animal, likely a horse. Breitner's loose, expressive strokes, characteristic of his style, capture the essence of movement and anatomy. The minimalist composition focuses attention on the subject, highlighting the artist's keen observation of form.
