Strijdende soldaten, deels te paard 1872 - 1879

This pencil sketch, "Strijdende soldaten, deels te paard," by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, captures a scene of intense combat. Created between 1872 and 1879, the artwork showcases Breitner's signature expressive style and dynamic composition. The loose, gestural lines and minimal detail create a sense of immediacy and movement, emphasizing the chaos of battle. The sketch likely served as a study for a larger painting, and is currently part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum.
