"Twee Antwerpse jongens" (Two Antwerp Boys) is a pencil sketch created by George Clausen in 1874. It depicts two young boys, likely from Antwerp, captured in a simple yet expressive manner. Clausen, a renowned British realist painter, is known for his detailed portrayals of everyday life. The sketch's loose lines and gestural strokes suggest a quick study, likely made during an outdoor observation session, highlighting Clausen's skill in capturing fleeting moments. This work offers a glimpse into Clausen's artistic process and his interest in depicting the people and places around him.
