Studie, mogelijk van een paard bij een poort 1887 - 1891

"Studie, mogelijk van een paard bij een poort," created between 1887 and 1891 by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, is a charcoal sketch depicting a horse and a gate. This preliminary sketch, likely a study for a larger work, demonstrates Breitner’s mastery of capturing movement and form through quick, gestural lines. While the subject matter is fragmented and suggestive, the artist’s use of charcoal creates a sense of depth and volume, hinting at the dynamic energy of the scene. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Breitner’s artistic exploration and his focus on capturing the essence of everyday life in Amsterdam.
