Paard 1893

"Paard" (Horse), a 1893 sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, is a quick, gestural drawing in graphite on paper. The artist, known for his energetic and impressionistic style, captured the essence of his subject in loose, dynamic lines, suggesting movement and form. Breitner’s drawings often served as preparatory studies for his larger paintings, and "Paard" demonstrates his ability to capture the essence of a subject with minimal detail. The work is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
