Meisjes spelend met een tol en bal c. 1917 - 1919

"Meisjes spelend met een tol en bal" is a charming sketch by Otto Verhagen, likely created between 1917 and 1919. The artwork captures three young girls engaged in playful activities, each rendered with loose and expressive lines. One girl spins a top, another bends over to roll a ball, and the third stands with her hands on her hips, seemingly observing the action. The simple yet evocative composition highlights the innocence and joy of childhood, reminiscent of Verhagen's other works focused on daily life and the human figure. The watercolor washes add subtle color to the sketch, creating a sense of warmth and vibrancy.
