Fine Art: G.H. Breitner, Girl in a White Kimono

NewparkLaneArtGifts- 19th century Fine Art Collection, featuring a vintage oil painting of a Girl in a White Kimono by the famous Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner from the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Inspired by Japanese prints, Breitner painted this in 1894, as one of a series of thirteen paintings of a girl in a kimono. She assumes different poses and the kimono often has a different colour. What catches the eye here is the embroidered, white silk kimono with red-trimmed sleeves and an orange sash. The dreamy girl is sixteen-year-old Geesje Kwak, a seamstress and one of Breitner’s regular models. Check out this collection for matching items. Do you have specific personal design wishes?
