"Paarden rond een voederbak op de Stadhouderskade te Amsterdam, ter hoogte van het Vondelpark" is a charcoal sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dating back to the 1880s. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, the work captures a fleeting moment in Amsterdam, likely along the Stadhouderskade, where horses gather near a feed trough, framed by trees and a view of the Vondelpark. Breitner's quick, gestural lines create a sense of immediacy, showcasing his impressionistic style and his keen observation of everyday life. The sketch exemplifies Breitner's signature approach, capturing the energy and movement of the city through a minimalist yet powerful composition.
