Figuur achter een paard 1912 - 1919

"Figuur achter een paard" is a graphite drawing on paper by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1912 and 1919. The drawing depicts a figure in a horse-drawn carriage, with only the outline and some details of the horse's hindquarters visible. The figure is positioned behind the horse, providing a unique perspective of the scene. This quick sketch is a testament to Breitner's mastery of capturing motion and atmosphere in his work, characteristic of his Impressionistic style. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers insight into Breitner's artistic process and his interest in everyday scenes of Amsterdam.
