Studieblad met figuren en paarden c. 1886 - 1923

This quick sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, titled "Studie­blad met figuren en paarden," (c. 1886-1923) showcases the artist’s exploration of human and animal figures. The dynamic, gestural lines suggest movement and capture the essence of the subjects rather than focusing on precise detail. Breitner, known for his urban scenes and Impressionist style, demonstrates his talent for capturing fleeting moments in these preliminary drawings. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into Breitner’s artistic process, offering insights into his creative development.
