Ruiters en een compositiestudie 1881 - 1883

This graphite sketch, titled "Ruiters en een compositiestudie" by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, depicts a study of riders. Dated between 1881 and 1883, the work highlights Breitner's early interest in capturing movement and composition. The loose and gestural lines of the sketch are typical of the artist's preliminary studies, offering a glimpse into his creative process. This study, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Breitner's mastery of capturing dynamic scenes, a theme that would define his later, more detailed works.
