Prøveplade: Barnehoved i profil 1901

Frans Schwartz's *Prøveplade: Barnehoved i profil*, created in 1901, is a detailed etching that captures the essence of childhood innocence. The artwork, which is a small plate measuring just 92 mm x 61 mm, depicts the profile of a child's head, rendered with meticulous lines and shading. The artist's mastery of etching is evident in the delicate texture of the child's hair and the subtle variations in tone that give the portrait depth and realism. The composition's simplicity and the delicate details contribute to the artwork's overall sense of intimacy and tenderness. This etching exemplifies Schwartz's artistic interest in the study of human figures, particularly children, and his skill in capturing their unique qualities.
