Varken en paardenhoofd 1880 - 1882

This sketch, "Varken en paardenhoofd" (Pig and horse head) by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner is a study in animal anatomy. Created between 1880 and 1882, the charcoal drawing exhibits Breitner's early interest in the visual world and his skillful use of line and tone. It is a thoughtful exploration of form and a testament to Breitner's artistic prowess. Now in the Rijksmuseum, this sketch offers a glimpse into the artistic process of one of the Netherlands' most famous painters.
