Malle Jan is a 1930s oil painting by Anton Rovers (1868-1946), a realist work from the Netherlands, hand-signed, original edition, sold with a frame, measuring 65 by 52 cm.
Description from the seller
This painting shows a man riding with his horse and cart along a rural path, surrounded by bare winter shrubbery and a tall, soft sky in light pastel tones. The composition is frontal and powerful: the horse stands at the center and comes almost tangible forward, while the coachman behind sits in the shadow, only partially illuminated. The loose, broad brushstrokes in the sky contrast with the more developed form of the horse, giving the work a lively, natural appearance. The subdued colors and the play of light and shadow create a restrained, realistic atmosphere that makes the simplicity of rural life tangible.
Dimensions of the work with a frame: 65 x 52 cm
Dimensions of the work without a frame: 50 x 38 cm
The work is viewable in our gallery. Furthermore, Art Dumay has a framing workshop (this year celebrating their 85th anniversary) and a restoration studio. So if you would like to make use of these, of course we would be happy to hear from you.
