Rijtuig, mogelijk een huurrijtuig (aapje) 1886 - 1923

This charcoal drawing, created between 1886 and 1923, is a quick sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner. It depicts a horse-drawn carriage, possibly a hired carriage, in a street scene. Breitner's signature style is evident in the loose, gestural lines and emphasis on capturing the essence of the subject. This intimate drawing, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcases Breitner's keen observation of everyday life in Amsterdam and his ability to render movement and atmosphere with economy of line.
