Paardenhoofd 1912 - 1919

"Paardenhoofd" (Horse Head) is a minimalist drawing by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1912 and 1919. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a simple, almost abstract depiction of a horse's head. Breitner, known for his impressionist style, captures the essence of the subject with minimal lines and a sense of movement. The drawing showcases Breitner's masterful use of negative space, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. The work is a testament to the artist's focus on capturing the fleeting moments of life, even in the most basic form.
