Paardentrams op de Nieuwmarkt te Amsterdam, gezien vanuit de Waag 1892 - 1900

This charcoal sketch, *Paardentrams op de Nieuwmarkt te Amsterdam, gezien vanuit de Waag*, is a quick study by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner. Created between 1892 and 1900, the work depicts the busy scene of horse-drawn trams at the Nieuwmarkt square in Amsterdam, as seen from the Waag building. The loose lines and gestural marks capture the dynamism of the scene, conveying the movement of the trams and the bustling atmosphere of the city. Currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, the sketch offers a glimpse into Breitner's artistic process and his fascination with capturing the energy of urban life.
