Studie, mogelijk van een paard 1917

This simple pencil sketch, titled "Studie, mogelijk van een paard", was created by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner in 1917. It is likely a preliminary study for a larger work, with only a few lines suggesting the form of a horse. The sketch's quick, gestural strokes capture the essence of the animal, and its raw, unfinished nature provides insight into Breitner's artistic process. Breitner, known for his vibrant depictions of Amsterdam life, is showcased here in a more intimate, spontaneous moment. This drawing, housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the mind of one of the Netherlands' most prominent Impressionist artists.
