Ruiter en een zittende man 1880 - 1882

"Ruiter en een zittende man" (Rider and a seated man) is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1880 and 1882. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a rider on horseback and a seated man in loose, gestural lines. Breitner's sketch is a study in capturing movement and the fleeting nature of everyday life. It is an example of his spontaneous drawing style, emphasizing the impressionistic quality of his work. The light, quick strokes of the pencil convey the sense of action and a dynamic composition.
