Studieblad met koeien en een hoofd 1880 - 1882

"Studie blad met koeien en een hoofd" (Study sheet with cows and a head), a pencil drawing by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, is a study sheet for a larger composition. Created between 1880 and 1882, it showcases Breitner's interest in capturing the essence of everyday life, using quick sketches to capture the form and movement of cows. This intimate study, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Breitner's working process and his talent for capturing realistic detail with expressive line work. The drawing, although incomplete, reflects Breitner's signature style, characterized by bold strokes and a sense of immediacy.
