Zittend kind 1848 - 1927

"Zittend kind" is a pencil drawing by August Allebé, created between 1848 and 1927. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a child seated in a simple pose, capturing the innocence and naturalism of childhood. Allebé's loose, expressive lines create a sense of spontaneity and immediacy, characteristic of his quick sketches. This intimate portrayal exemplifies the artist's keen observation and mastery of capturing fleeting moments in life.
