Jan Altink (1885-1971) - Blue mountains and yellow lake

Jan Altink (Dutch, 1885–1971) – Blue Mountains and Yellow Lake (1950), watercolor on paper. This lyrical later work shows Altink’s mature style, in which atmosphere and color dominate over strict form. Layers of blue and grey shape the mountainous landscape, contrasted by a luminous yellow lake that brings warmth and balance to the composition. The work is signed and dated “J. Altink ’50” lower right. Dimensions: sheet size 33 × 49 cm; the image occupies most of the sheet. This is a unique work and not part of an edition. The watercolor originates from a Dutch private collection. No additional documentation is present. Condition is good, with minor age-related characteristics typical for works on paper, such as slight waviness and gentle toning; no restorations noted, none needed. The artwork is offered framed. A fine and atmospheric example of Jan Altink’s late-period work and an attractive opportunity for collectors of De Ploeg and Dutch modernism.
