Kneeling woman with a baby
Dora Hitz captures a tender, fleeting moment between a mother and child with loose, energetic strokes that feel almost like a visual whisper. The word 'childness' scribbled on the side suggests this wasn't just a portrait, but a philosophical study of the very essence of infancy. As a key figure in the Berlin Secession and a court painter for the Queen of Romania, Hitz often blended Impressionist lightness with deep emotional resonance, and this sketch reveals her raw, unpolished genius before the paint even hit the canvas.
