Veldartillerie c. 1893

This etching, titled "Veldartillerie", was created by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner in 1893. The artwork depicts a group of soldiers on horseback, riding through a field with a hazy sky in the background. The intricate detail of the soldiers' uniforms, horses, and the landscape create a vivid and realistic scene. The composition, with its horizontal lines and emphasis on the movement of the soldiers, gives the impression of a dynamic and fleeting moment. This etching is an excellent example of Breitner's mastery of the medium, and his ability to capture the energy and dynamism of his subjects. The artwork is housed in the Rijksmuseum and is a testament to Breitner's keen observation of Dutch life and military culture.
