Grazende paarden 1881 - 1883

"Grazende paarden" (Grazing Horses) is a pencil sketch by George Hendrik Breitner, a Dutch painter and photographer. The drawing depicts a group of horses, likely in a field, but only their heads and necks are visible. The sketch was likely created as a study for one of Breitner's larger paintings. The loose and gestural style of the lines captures the energy and movement of the horses in a way that is both realistic and impressionistic. The sketch is a great example of Breitner's work and is now held in the Rijksmuseum.
