Studieblad met mannenhoofden, soldaten en een paard 1880 - 1882

"Studie­blad met mannenhoofden, soldaten en een paard" is a pencil sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1880 and 1882. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a series of sketches of men's heads, soldiers, and a horse. Breitner, known for his portrayal of everyday life in Amsterdam, used this study sheet to practice his drawing skills and capture fleeting moments of urban life. The loose and gestural lines of the sketch convey the artist's keen observation and ability to capture movement and form with economy of strokes. This is a typical example of Breitner's early works, which often feature the city's inhabitants and its bustling atmosphere.
