This pencil sketch, "Paard met tuig" (Horse with Harness) by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, is a quick study of a horse. The artist, known for his dynamic depictions of modern life, captures the horse's powerful form in a loose and gestural style. Created sometime between 1882 and 1912, this small drawing showcases Breitner's masterful use of line and tone to convey movement and volume. The sketch is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
