Studieblad met huzaar en paard c. 1885 - 1887

This etching, "Studie blad met huzaar en paard" (Study sheet with hussar and horse) by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, depicts a hussar, a type of light cavalry, standing beside his horse. The print is a study, or preparatory drawing, for a larger work, likely highlighting Breitner's focus on capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life in Amsterdam, his favored subject. The work is characterized by its loose lines and the artist's characteristic use of light and shadow. It is a small but insightful glimpse into the artistic process of the celebrated Dutch painter.
