Twee studies van een kinderhoofd c. 1882

"Twee studies van een kinderhoofd" is a study of two children's heads by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner from c. 1882. The quick, gestural lines capture the essence of the children's faces. The work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Breitner's mastery of drawing, which he used to capture the fleeting moments of everyday life. The artist often used simple pencil sketches as a way to study his subjects, and this work is an example of his skillful use of this technique.
