Drie Zeeuwse kinderen 1903

"Drie Zeeuwse kinderen" is a 1903 etching by Dutch artist Jan Toorop (1858-1928). The work depicts three young girls, likely from Zeeland, a province in the Netherlands, standing in line. Toorop's signature style, characterized by simplified forms and bold lines, is evident in this piece. The simple composition and detailed linework create a sense of realism, though the etching is a study rather than a finished piece, resulting in a minimalist aesthetic. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, "Drie Zeeuwse kinderen" is a testament to Toorop's talent for capturing the essence of his subjects.
