Paard en wagen c. 1900 - 1923

"Paard en wagen" (Horse and Cart) is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dating back to the early 20th century. This quick sketch, part of a series of studies by the artist, exemplifies Breitner's interest in capturing the dynamism of everyday life in Amsterdam. The fleeting, gestural lines convey the movement of the horse and cart, while the simplified forms evoke a sense of immediacy and energy. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Breitner's artistic process and his keen eye for urban detail.
