Paard-en-wagen 1912 - 1919

"Paard-en-wagen" is a pencil sketch by George Hendrik Breitner, a Dutch artist known for his depictions of daily life in Amsterdam. Created between 1912 and 1919, this work showcases Breitner's expressive style through its loose lines and gestural strokes. The sketch captures a fleeting moment, likely a horse-drawn carriage, with the focus on the animal's powerful presence and the driver's figure. This drawing, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into Breitner's artistic process and his fascination with the bustling urban landscape of his time.
