Boerin achter een wagen 1884 - 1886

This is a preliminary pencil sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner (1857-1923). It depicts a peasant woman, perhaps a farmer, standing behind a wagon. The simple lines and loose composition are characteristic of Breitner's quick studies, which he used to capture fleeting moments and poses. This sketch, likely created in the mid-1880s, provides a glimpse into Breitner's artistic process and his interest in everyday life. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
