Paarden op het strand, op de achtergrond een schuit en vissers c. 1867 - 1923

"Paarden op het strand, op de achtergrond een schuit en vissers" (Horses on the Beach, with a Boat and Fishermen in the Background) is a watercolor painting by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner. The artwork depicts three horses standing on a sandy beach, with a small boat and fishermen in the background. This work showcases Breitner's mastery of watercolor, utilizing loose brushstrokes and subtle color transitions to capture the atmosphere and light of the scene. The painting, now held by the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of Breitner's focus on everyday scenes and his ability to imbue ordinary moments with a sense of realism and poetic beauty.
