Twee figuren bij een paard-en-wagen 1897

This quick sketch, “Twee figuren bij een paard-en-wagen” (Two figures by a horse-drawn carriage), was made by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner in 1897. The drawing, executed in pencil, shows a horse-drawn carriage with two figures and a faint outline of a building above. It's a simple but expressive study of everyday life in Amsterdam, a subject Breitner was known for. The artwork captures the essence of movement and urban life in the artist's distinctive style. The sketch's small size, measuring only 65mm by 99mm, adds to its intimate and informal quality. The piece is now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, where it stands as a testament to Breitner’s keen observation and artistic talent.
