Kinderhoofden 1881 - 1883

"Kinderhoofden" is a pencil sketch created between 1881 and 1883 by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner. The work is housed in the Rijksmuseum and depicts a quick, gestural study of two children's heads. Breitner is known for his bold and expressive style, often capturing fleeting moments in daily life. This sketch exemplifies his dynamic use of line and his ability to convey emotion through simple yet evocative strokes. The unfinished quality of the work also reflects Breitner's interest in capturing the spontaneity of observation.
