Cavaleristen of artilleristen te paard Possibly 1881 - 1883

"Cavaleristen of artilleristen te paard" is a pencil sketch on paper by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, dated to 1881–1883. The sketch, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a preliminary study for a larger work, possibly depicting cavalry or artillerymen on horseback. The work captures the essence of Breitner's style, characterized by loose lines and expressive strokes that capture the dynamism of his subjects. This sketch is a fascinating glimpse into the artistic process of a prominent Dutch Impressionist.
