Seated Woman with Two Children by Dora Hitz

Dora Hitz captures a tender, fleeting moment of motherhood in this loose, expressive sketch, where a seated woman cradles a child while another rests nearby. Notice how the mother's face is almost entirely blank? This wasn't a mistake—Hitz and her fellow Berlin Impressionists often used sweeping, energetic strokes to prioritize raw emotion over precise detail. It feels less like a formal portrait and more like a warm, private snapshot of family life caught in a hurry.
