Studie, mogelijk van koeien of paarden 1883

This 1883 charcoal sketch by George Hendrik Breitner is a study, possibly of cows or horses, and is now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum. The simple yet expressive lines capture the movement of the animals, hinting at their form and presence. The sketch is a testament to Breitner's mastery of capturing fleeting moments through quick and gestural drawings, which were often used as preliminary studies for larger paintings.
