Paarden voor karren, Parijs 1867 - 1923

"Paarden voor karren, Parijs" is a pencil drawing by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, completed between 1867 and 1923. This small-scale work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures a scene of horses pulling a cart in Paris. Breitner's sketchy and dynamic lines evoke a sense of movement and energy, emphasizing the rhythm of the horses' strides. The simplified forms and gestural marks characteristic of his style, capture a fleeting moment in the bustling city.
