Paard 1887 - 1891

"Paard" is a pencil sketch on paper by George Hendrik Breitner, a Dutch painter and photographer. Created between 1887 and 1891, it is a quick study of a horse, likely made in the artist's studio as evidenced by the "Atelier G.H. Breitner" stamp. The simplicity of the lines and loose composition highlight Breitner's interest in capturing the essence of his subject with economy of means. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this sketch offers a glimpse into the artist's working process and his fascination with capturing movement and form.
