Drie paarden en een koetsier 1875 - 1934

“Drie paarden en een koetsier” (Three Horses and a Coachman) is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, created between 1875 and 1934. It depicts a dynamic scene of three horses and a coachman, captured in quick, expressive strokes. The sketch, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Israels’ ability to capture movement and form with minimal detail. The use of graphite creates a sense of immediacy and spontaneity, typical of his artistic style.
