Studieblad met ogen en een liggend paard 1881 - 1883

This charcoal study by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1881 and 1883, is housed at the Rijksmuseum. It showcases Breitner’s practice of capturing fleeting moments through quick sketches. The drawing depicts a horse lying down, with multiple sketches of eyes scattered across the paper, possibly from a different subject. The loose, gestural lines and the raw, unfinished quality of the drawing are characteristic of Breitner's artistic style, reflecting his fascination with capturing the dynamism of everyday life in Amsterdam.
