Schetsen van een zittend kind 1848 - 1927

This pencil sketch titled "Schetsen van een zittend kind" was created by August Allebé between 1848 and 1927. The drawing showcases Allebé's talent for capturing the human form with a light, expressive touch. While the subject of the sketch, a seated child, is only partially visible, the artist's focus on the details of the body, particularly the hands and feet, adds a sense of intimacy to the work. This intimate portrayal of a child is typical of Allebé's style, which was heavily influenced by realism. This artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
