Melkende boer tussen twee koeien 1880 - 1882

This charcoal sketch, titled "Melkende boer tussen twee koeien," depicts a farmer milking two cows. Created between 1880 and 1882 by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, the work is a study in form and gesture. Breitner's quick, expressive lines capture the movement of the farmer and the cows, creating a sense of energy and vitality. The sketch, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fascinating example of Breitner's early work, known for its focus on everyday scenes and his use of Impressionistic techniques.
