@ Three kids 39/120 u/f

Three heads occupy the composition in profile and three-quarter view, their features rendered with economic, deliberate lines. The faces possess a contemplative quality, each distinct in character and expression. Executed in etching and aquatint, the work employs a restrained palette of earth tones and warm hues, with the figures emerging from the paper through carefully modulated tones. The intimate scale and graphic precision reflect van der Westhuizen’s extensive engagement with printmaking across multiple continents and traditions.
