Paarden, mogelijk in een stal 1882

This preliminary sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created in 1882, captures the essence of horses in a stable. The loose, gestural lines of the pencil drawing suggest movement and energy, highlighting the artist's quick and expressive style. Though unfinished, the work reveals Breitner's keen observation of the subject matter, with a focus on the horses' postures and the overall atmosphere of the stable. This quick study, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Breitner's mastery of capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life.
