"Schets van een kinderkopje met lichtblond haar" (Sketch of a Child's Head with Light Blond Hair) is a study by Louis Léopold Boilly, a prolific French painter known for his portraits and genre scenes. Dated between 1771 and 1845, this oil sketch on canvas captures the delicate features of a young child, showcasing Boilly's talent for rendering subtle expressions. The loose brushstrokes and unfinished quality of the work reveal its function as a preparatory study, likely for a larger portrait or a composition featuring a child.
