Twee figuren en een kind met ballonnen 1890 - 1946

This simple yet evocative pencil sketch, "Twee figuren en een kind met ballonnen" (Two figures and a child with balloons) by Dutch artist Cornelis Vreedenburgh, captures a fleeting moment in time. Created between 1890 and 1946, the work showcases Vreedenburgh's expressive style, using loose lines to depict three figures: a child holding a balloon, a man possibly admiring the balloons, and another figure standing nearby. The composition, characterized by its simplicity and minimalist approach, is a testament to Vreedenburgh's skill in capturing the essence of a subject with minimal detail. The artwork is currently held in the Rijksmuseum, providing a glimpse into the artist's personal observations of everyday life.
