Twee studies van een paardenkar c. 1888 - 1891

"Twee studies van een paardenkar" is a charcoal drawing by Willem Witsen, dating from c. 1888-1891, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum. The piece captures the essence of a horse-drawn cart in two dynamic studies, executed with loose, gestural strokes. Witsen's use of charcoal effectively conveys the movement and energy of the subject, highlighting the artist's fascination with the everyday life of Amsterdam and its working class. The drawing's simplicity and expressive lines make it a compelling example of Witsen's unique style and his ability to translate fleeting observations into compelling compositions.
