Paard en twee figuren met een kind 1886 - 1923

This pencil sketch, "Paard en twee figuren met een kind", is a quick study by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, known for his Impressionistic depictions of Amsterdam. The artist's use of simple lines suggests a fleeting moment in the city, capturing the essence of a horse and three figures, possibly a family, in an informal setting. Breitner's loose, gestural style is characteristic of his early works, revealing his keen observation of everyday life. This sketch, held in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the creative process of this prominent Dutch artist.
