Kinderportretje, en face 1874 - 1918

"Kinderportretje, en face" is a watercolor portrait by Dutch artist Martinus van Andringa, created between 1874 and 1918. The painting, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a young girl with blonde hair wearing a maroon dress. The soft, muted tones of the watercolor create a gentle and intimate atmosphere, emphasizing the delicate features and innocent gaze of the child. Van Andringa's portrait is a compelling example of late 19th-century Dutch realism, capturing a moment of quiet contemplation in a child's life.
