girl in a white kimono george hendrik breitner fine art print artnoveau Among de Mesquita's most beautifulInspired by Japanese prints, between 1893 and 1896 Breitner made 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 sixteenyear old Geesje Kwak, a seamstress and one of Breitners regular models. Original from the Rijksmuseum. Color enhancement and alignment size
