Description from the seller
At first glance, this painting raises the question: what exactly are the girls doing? Due to Willem van der Nat's impressionistic style, it is not immediately clear what they are holding in their hands. Are they flowers? However, the title of the work reveals how the vegetable cauliflower got its name. The white, flower-like shapes turn out to be cauliflowers just harvested from the land. Van der Nat subtly plays with light here by contrasting the bright color of the cauliflowers against the dark background, giving the scene extra depth and liveliness.
Dimensions: 22 cm x 15 cm
Dimensions with frame: 31 cm x 32 cm
The work is in a neat list.
The painting was exhibited in 1964 at the Lakenhal in Leiden.
Willem Hendrik van der Nat (Leiden, 1864–1929) was a versatile artist: painter, draftsman, watercolorist, sculptor, etcher, illustrator, and lithographer. He received his first drawing lessons at a young age and later studied in The Hague and Leiden, where he became friends with artist Floris Verster and art critic H.P. Bremmer.
Initially, Van der Nat worked as an illustrator and lithographer, but around 1900 he fully dedicated himself to painting. His style evolved from the influence of the Hague School to a more expressive, colorful approach, partly inspired by Van Gogh and Millet. He gained fame with his paintings of sheep and goats, often created during his stays in Drenthe, but he also painted still lifes, landscapes, and Spanish scenes.
Van der Nat was a co-founder of the Leiden artists' association De Kunst om De Kunst and is considered part of the core of the so-called Leiden Impressionists—a group of painters distinguished by their loose brushwork and vivid use of color. They painted in and around the city of Leiden. The movement is related to the Hague School. His work is represented in the collections of several museums, such as the Stedelijk Museum De Lakenhal in Leiden and the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterloo.
A viewing is of course possible.
