EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing artwork titled "Girl in a White Kimono" by Georg-Hendrik Breitner. Painted in 1894, this oil on canvas masterpiece is housed at the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The focal point of the painting is a young woman dressed in an exquisite white kimono, representing traditional Japanese attire. With her delicate features and serene expression, she exudes an air of elegance and mystery. The artist's attention to detail is evident through the intricate embroidery adorning her robe and the lacquer screen behind her. Breitner was part of the Hague School movement and embraced japonism, which was influenced by Japanese art and culture. This fusion can be seen in his impressionistic style that captures both Dutch sensibilities and Eastern exoticism. The subject of this portrait is Geesje Kwak, a 16-year-old girl who posed for Breitner. Her youthful beauty combined with the allure of the kimono creates a harmonious composition that draws viewers into another world. As we gaze upon this enchanting image, we are transported back to late 19th-century Europe when fascination with all things Japanese was at its peak. Through this print, we can appreciate not only Breitner's artistic talent but also his ability to capture cultural influences from afar while staying true to his Dutch roots.
