Kar met drie paarden, voorstudie voor ets c. 1897 - 1898

This pencil sketch by Pieter Dupont, titled "Kar met drie paarden, voorstudie voor ets" (Cart with three horses, study for an etching), is a preparatory drawing created sometime between 1897 and 1898. The artwork depicts a cart pulled by three horses, with only the outline of the horses and the cart visible. The artist has used light, delicate lines to capture the form and movement of the subjects, which is typical of preparatory drawings for etchings. The simple yet expressive composition demonstrates Dupont's mastery of line and his keen observation of natural form. This preliminary study serves as a testament to the artist's meticulous process in preparing for the final etched piece.
