Kar met lading c. 1890 - 1900

"Kar met lading" (Cart with cargo) is a pencil drawing on paper by George Hendrik Breitner, a prominent Dutch painter known for his depictions of daily life in Amsterdam. Created sometime between 1890 and 1900, the drawing presents a simple yet evocative sketch of a cart, likely drawn from life. The loose, gestural lines and minimal detail characteristic of Breitner's style capture the essence of the subject, highlighting the artist's keen observation of everyday scenes. This work, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process and the world he observed through his sketches.
