Two playing children
German artist Dora Hitz captures a tender, fleeting moment in this energetic sketch of two young children. An older child with distinct bangs leans in closely toward a toddler, both seemingly engrossed in a shared activity on a surface before them. The loose, scribbly lines and rapid shading create a sense of immediacy, as if Hitz was quickly documenting a candid family scene before the moment passed. As a pioneering figure in the Berlin art scene and a student of Franz von Lenbach, Hitz was known for her portraits, and this sketch reveals her ability to convey emotion with just a few swift strokes.
