Jan Toorop (1858-1928) - Marietje Otterloo

Another very beautiful work by Toorop, and that after 100 years in good condition.
The size of the lithograph is 28x20 cm.
I think this is the most beautiful portrait of Toorop; it is his neighbor girl, Marietje Otterloo.

Johannes Theodorus (Jan) Toorop, also: Jean Theodor Toorop, (Poerworedjo (Nederlands-Indië), December 20, 1858 – The Hague, March 3, 1928) was one of the most important Dutch visual artists from the period 1880-1910. Initially, he painted in an impressionist style, but through pointillism, he developed into a symbolist painter.

He was also active as a portrait artist and designed ceramics, advertising posters, and book covers. Dutch Art Nouveau is often associated with his work. In the last twenty years of his life, he was strongly inspired by Roman Catholicism.

He was the father of Charley Toorop, grandfather of the artist Edgar Fernhout and the filmmaker John Fernhout, and great-grandfather of Rik Fernhout.
