Buffeljacht c. 1871 - 1876

"Buffeljacht" (Buffalo Hunt) is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1871 and 1876. The sketch depicts a dynamic scene of a buffalo hunt, with multiple horsemen charging through the landscape, capturing the energy and chaos of the event. The loose, gestural lines and the focus on movement create a sense of immediacy, conveying the raw excitement of the hunt. The piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into Breitner's early artistic development and his fascination with action and movement.
