Paarden 1893

"Paarden" (Horses) is a charcoal drawing on paper by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, dating back to 1893. This quick sketch, likely made in a sketchbook, showcases Breitner's expressive use of charcoal and a dynamic composition. The artist captures the movement and form of horses with loose, gestural lines, creating a sense of energy and immediacy. Characteristic of Breitner's work, the piece exemplifies his fascination with urban life, horses, and the fleeting moments of everyday activity. Currently, the artwork is held in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
