Breitner - Girl in white kimono

Breitner - Girl in white kimono
‘Girl in a White Kimono’ is a painting from Breitner's famous Kimono Girl series. As a preliminary study for his paintings, he used photographs of his model (Geesje Kwak) in kimono. To get as close as possible to the creative process of Breitner, the team will take a photo with Breitner's original camera. The camera is fantastic museum piece in the safekeeping of Leiden University. It turns out to be a complicated chemical process with glass negatives and slow shutter speeds. Charlotte finds out that she needs a certain medium to be able to complete the reconstruction properly. Michel investigates and ends up in Cambridge; looking for a recipe in the archives of an old paint shop.
