Paarden en een kar 1883 - 1885

"Paarden en een kar" (Horses and a Cart) is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1883 and 1885 and now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The loose, gestural lines capture the energy of a fleeting moment in a dynamic composition. The artist's quick strokes and emphasis on capturing movement are characteristic of his style, influenced by Impressionism and the burgeoning artistic scene in late 19th-century Amsterdam.
