"Cavaleristen" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dating from roughly 1873 to 1923. The sketch, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a group of cavalrymen riding in a line. Breitner, known for his Impressionist style, captured the fleeting movement of the riders through gestural lines and minimal detail, emphasizing the dynamism of the scene. This quick sketch showcases the artist's mastery of capturing motion and his keen observation of everyday life.
