Twee lezende kinderen 1865 - 1913

"Twee lezende kinderen" (Two Reading Children) is a pencil sketch by Bramine Hubrecht, a Dutch painter and illustrator. Created between 1865 and 1913, the artwork features two figures engaged in reading, captured in a simple, gestural style. The sketch is a testament to Hubrecht's ability to evoke a sense of intimacy and connection through his fluid lines and subtle shading. The piece's unfinished quality, typical of Hubrecht's working process, adds a sense of immediacy and spontaneity, highlighting the fleeting moments of daily life. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, the sketch offers a glimpse into the artist's artistic practice and his interest in depicting everyday scenes.
