Paardentrams, mogelijk op de Dam te Amsterdam 1893 - 1894

"Paardentrams, mogelijk op de Dam te Amsterdam" is a charcoal sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner. This quick sketch, possibly made while Breitner was waiting for a horse-drawn tram on Amsterdam’s Dam Square, captures the movement and energy of the city. Breitner was known for his dynamic and impressionistic style, evident in the loose lines and the rough, almost gestural, quality of the sketch. The sketch provides a glimpse into the artist’s creative process and offers a unique perspective on the bustling city of Amsterdam in the 19th century.
