Twee paardenstudies 1873

"Twee paardenstudies" (Two Horse Studies), a pencil drawing created in 1873 by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, is a study of two horses. The drawing is characterized by Breitner's signature expressive lines and loose, gestural style, capturing the movement and anatomy of the horses with remarkable detail. This work is part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcasing Breitner's early exploration of animal subjects, a theme that would continue to appear in his later works.
