"Kinderhoofd" (Child's Head), a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, is a quick sketch from his sketchbook. The work is characterized by rapid, gestural lines that capture the essence of a child's head, possibly a study for a larger work. Created between 1881 and 1883, the drawing reflects Breitner's interest in capturing everyday life and the fleeting moments of human experience. The piece is currently held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
