Compositiestudie met ruiters c. 1886 - 1890

This charcoal sketch, “Compositiestudie met ruiters,” was created by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner between 1886 and 1890. The work is a preliminary study, with rough lines outlining figures on horseback. Breitner's signature use of loose, expressive strokes and an emphasis on capturing movement is evident here. The sketch, housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into Breitner's artistic process.
