"Kinderkopje" is a graphite drawing by Jean Augustin Daiwaille, dating back to 1820-1830. The drawing is a study of a child’s head, highlighting the delicate features and youthful innocence. The work is characterized by its meticulous detail and realistic representation, typical of Netherlandish drawing traditions. The piece is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and serves as a testament to Daiwaille’s keen observation and masterful skill in capturing the human form.
