Staand paard c. 1882 - 1912

"Staand paard" is a pencil sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, dating to between 1882 and 1912. The drawing depicts a horse standing in a field, likely a preliminary study for a larger work. The loose, gestural lines capture the energy of the horse and its surroundings. It's a characteristic example of Breitner's fascination with urban life and the dynamic movement of people and animals. The drawing, now in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artist's expressive use of line and his acute observation of everyday moments.
