Paarden, mogelijk bij een voederplaats Possibly 1882 - 1886

This drawing, possibly of horses near a feeding place, was created by George Hendrik Breitner. Breitner was a Dutch painter known for his gritty, impressionistic depictions of urban life in Amsterdam. His choice of subject matter, often focusing on working-class individuals and scenes of everyday life, reflects a broader shift in artistic interests towards representing the realities of a rapidly changing society. Breitner was interested in representing the lives of ordinary people, and the working class in particular. The drawing uses expressive, gestural lines to capture the energy and movement of the animals, offering a glimpse into Breitner's artistic process and his fascination with capturing fleeting moments in time. It's as if Breitner sought to reveal the hidden beauty and dignity within these commonplace scenes.
