George Breitner, Girl in a White Kimono (Geesje Kwok), 1894
‘Self Portrait’ by George Hendrik Breitner
The Red Kimono (1894). George Hendrik Breitner (Dutch, 1857-1923). Oil on canvas. Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.
From entries in his sketchbook and photos, we know that it was Geesje Kwak who posed for the painter between the ages of 16 and 18. Coming from a Zaandam family of bargees, Geesje Kwak moved to Amsterdam in 1880. Her young, innocent face and slender body contribute significantly to the appearance of delicate sensuality that characterises the entire kimono series.

George Breitner, Het Oorringetje, 1893
‘Self Portrait’ painted in 1883 by Dutch painter George Breitner (1857-1923). This painting does make him look like a contemporary of Edvard Munch. Apparently Conservative art critics said at the time that Breitners style was ‘unfinished’, some people’s lives would fit that description. .
