Figuren bij paardenkarren c. 1886 - 1923

This is a pencil sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, titled *Figuren bij paardenkarren* (Figures by horse-drawn carriages). Dated to between 1886 and 1923, it is a preliminary drawing for a larger work. The sketchy style is typical of Breitner's work, capturing the fleeting moments of daily life in the Netherlands. The subject matter is depicted with a focus on the figures and carriages, while the background is rendered in quick strokes. This drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
