Studies of Children

About this artwork
This is a sheet of character studies featuring multiple sketches of children's heads and a seated child, executed in charcoal on paper. The work reflects Guillaumin's informal and direct approach to drawing from observation.
Did you know?
Armand Guillaumin was a key figure in the Impressionist circle and was famously known for his intense use of color in his paintings, making his delicate monochromatic charcoal sketches a fascinating contrast to his typical output. He was a close friend of Camille Pissarro and Paul Cézanne, and this intimate study of children captures the softer, domestic side of an artist who spent much of his career documenting the rugged landscapes of Paris and the Creuse region.
