Twee paarden 1886 - 1898

"Twee paarden" (Two Horses) is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dating back to 1886-1898 and currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The sketch, capturing a fleeting moment in time, demonstrates Breitner's characteristic use of bold strokes and strong contrasts. His dynamic lines and expressive shading give a sense of movement and depth to the horses, suggesting the artist's keen observation of the subject. The artwork is a testament to Breitner's mastery of capturing urban life in Amsterdam, a recurring theme in his oeuvre.
