Man op een paardenkar, mogelijk een ploegende boer 1897

"Man op een paardenkar, mogelijk een ploegende boer" (Man on a horse-drawn cart, possibly a plowing farmer), a 1897 pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, captures a fleeting moment of rural life. The drawing, characterized by loose and gestural lines, suggests a dynamic scene with a figure perched on a cart drawn by a horse, perhaps engaged in the act of plowing. This sketch, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Breitner's artistic process, highlighting his mastery of capturing movement and everyday life in a minimalist, yet expressive style.
